Mission
TO ELEVATE THE TEACHING PROFESSION THROUGH INCREASED SUPPORT COMPENSATION AND RECOGNITION
Program accomplishments
- The Teacher Appreciation Package is an effort by Million Dollar Teacher Project to connect teachers with local businesses in their community through meaningful annual discounts during National Education Month of November and Teacher Appreciation Week in May. The goal of the T.A.P. program is to elevate the spending power of teachers in Arizona whose compensation does not keep up with their personal and classroom needs.Expenses $53,621
- Take a Teacher to Lunch TTL is an initiative we launched to turn teacher recognition into a year-round sustained effort. Teaching is a thankless job and there are thousands of teachers each year who go unappreciated and unrecognized. TTL is our way to fix that. Our goal is to bring this program to every school district in the state of Arizona in some capacity by the end of 2028.Expenses $64,345
- The Classroom Support Team CST is composed of interns and community volunteers who assist a specific grade level of teachers. This year the program operated from September 3 2024 to March 28 2025. During this period 11 CST interns supported educators at Madrid Neighborhood School and Wilson School District positively impacting the learning experiences of over 400 students.Expenses $96,517
