Tucson Values Teachers

Tucson Values Teachers (TVT) is a partnership of educators, business leaders and individuals with a shared mission to help schools and districts attract, retain and support the very best teachers for every K-12 classroom in Southern Arizona. We recognize the critical role teachers play in student achievement and the vital influence they have on the future of Tucson and our region. Through our work, we seek to raise public awareness of the value of the teaching profession and provide a range of programs to support teachers professionally and financially.

TVT leverages partnerships with the Southern Arizona Leadership Council (SALC) and other business and education groups to advocate for funding and policies that positively impact teachers, students and schools. TVT is an innovative approach to education that grows out of strong partnerships among educators, businesses and communities.
