Rochester Teachers Care
Rochester Teachers Care was in our third year of an initiative to highlight the terrific work that Rochester teachers do every day and to educate the public about the exciting learning opportunities in our public schools. The project highlights exemplary work and dedication of our colleagues in service to our students. The RTA releases a professionally produced brief video highlighting the work of individual teachers, groups of colleagues, or entire Rochester schools. Supported by a generous grant from our state union, the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), we are working on this exciting project with former local newscaster Robin DeWind and photo-journalist Chris Coffey.
Below are the videos from the 2019-20 school year. To see past videos from others years click on the links below.
