Victra – a Verizon authorized retailer in the U.S. – has made it possible for local teacher Tania Quezada of Sweetwater Springs Elementary School to attend the Ron Clark Academy for an immersive training experience alongside 100 teachers from across the country in Atlanta on Jan. 25, 2024.
Quezada reportedly demonstrated exceptional dedication and creativity in her contributions to Sweetwater Springs Elementary School. As a testament to her commitment, she was chosen for this opportunity to receive training directly from the experts at the Ron Clark Academy.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Ron Clark Academy in recognizing the outstanding contributions of educators from communities across the country that have such a profound impact on the next generation,” said Rich Balot, CEO and Founder of Victra. “Teachers shape the future of society, and this partnership reflects our commitment to their professional development.”
Victra believes that education is the cornerstone of progress and growth within communities.
Through its partnership with Ron Clark Academy, the two aim to provide local teachers with the tools they need to create meaningful and lasting educational experiences for their students.
“We are excited to welcome new teachers to our academy and share our techniques with those making a difference in their communities,” added Ron Clark. “Our mission is to inspire educators and ignite a passion for learning in students. This partnership with Victra makes it possible to bring these skills to prominent teachers across the nation, and those who are most deserving as identified by their nominators!”
The training program will cover a range of topics and teaching techniques, including observation of the acclaimed Ron Clark teaching methods and exclusive hands-on workshops.
With these new skills and methods, teachers such as Quezada will reportedly bring back valuable insights and strategies to students in the local community, benefiting both fellow educators and students.
Although the formal nomination process for this year’s program is closed, individuals still have the opportunity to sponsor or directly send a teacher of their choice to the Ron Clark Academy, where educators will be provided with the tools they need to transform learning environments into ones filled with passion, creativity and authenticity. With hundreds of nominations received so far, this ensures your deserving teacher can participate in the program that will demonstrate transformative methods and techniques to bring back and implement in the classroom. Both options will be considered separately from the nomination process and sponsored educators will automatically be able to attend.
For $1,500, individuals can sponsor a teacher, while $2,500 directly sends a teacher. Both donation options cover the full cost of the RCA Experience Event fees, lodging, and meals. However, travel is only included for the teacher in the “Direct Send”.
