TRC Event Planning

Honoring the Teachers Events

Purpose of the Event

“Honoring the Teachers” events are strategically planned to achieve the following objectives:

• Recognize and honor participating teachers;
• Inform and Engage policy makers, legislators, and state leaders in the program.  (This objective is a very critical and central objective! The “Honoring the Teachers” event at the Regional level and the TRC Annual Meeting at the State level, provide two unique opportunities to inform state legislators and policy makers about the significant role of the Collaboratives in improving the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in classrooms across Texas.);
• Thank and REWARD corporate partners;
• Celebrate the regional collaborative partnership in the community;
• Acknowledge and ENCOURAGE support of administrators to teachers, and
• Publicize the program through media outlets in the region.
