    Cotsen Foundation for the ART of TEACHING: Elevating Educational Excellence

    The Cotsen Foundation for the ART of TEACHING is dedicated to transforming good teachers into great ones by providing coaching and mentoring to help educators achieve the highest levels of teaching excellence.

    The ART of Teaching’s primary mission involves an intensive two-year mentor/fellowship program. The mentor’s primary job is to work side-by-side with the fellows by planning, debriefing, reflecting, and using resources for studying and perfecting the craft of teaching in the chosen content area.

    Roosevelt Elementary is a proud recipient of a grant from the Cotsen Foundation for the Art of Teaching for the school years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The mission of the Cotsen Foundation for the ART of TEACHING is to transform good teachers into great teachers. This transformation occurs through a program in which proven educators receive coaching and mentoring to achieve the highest levels of teaching excellence. This is a voluntary program in which a few teachers go through a process of written application answering and reflecting on 10 pedagogical questions, classroom/teaching observations, and finally, an interview with the foundation.
