“Participating with the TRC program has given me the motivation and the passion to strive for excellence in my teaching career. TRC provided me with financial and professional support to pursue a master’s degree in education with emphasis in mathematics and science. Mentoring other teachers in the CADRE program helped me develop professionally. These experiences inspired me to offer training that will bring teacher competence into the classroom.” Teacher, 2011 TRC Annual Meeting
