Teacher Excellence Award

Tucson Values ​​Teachers presented the November Teacher Excellence Award to Leticia Montero, a seventh- and eighth-grade English Language Development (ELD) teacher at Challenger Middle School.

Montero, who has taught in the Sunnyside Unified School District for 10 years, has been at Challenger the last five years.

She was previously recognized as a STAR teacher at Sierra Middle School in 2012 and at Challenger Middle School in 2022. Last year, she received a Teacher Appreciation Award from the Tucson Ward V office.

“I strongly believe that we all have the power to influence others in a positive way, and I take that to heart everyday with my students,” Montero said. “My goal is to empower them to believe in themselves and know that with hard work and discipline everything is within our reach.”

She was nominated by her colleague Kelley Brooks-Cavalleto, who said Montero has started to facilitate family nights, where families are invited to learn more about the ELD program, experience learning tasks as their children do, and build a deeper understanding of the middle school to high school transition.
