Two Cortland Teachers Earn Master Teacher Awards

Being selected and named as a New York State Master Teacher is among the highest professional honors awarded to NY state's Science, Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics educators. NYS Master Teachers are recognized for their excellence and commitment to growth in Three Domains: the depth of their content knowledge, the effectiveness of their teaching practices, and the efforts and value they place on connecting with their students’ families and communities.

Ms. Ailport states that she is "honored to be recognized as a NYS Master Teacher." Mr. Wallis is also very pleased to have been selected for this honor.

The Cortland community is very proud of Kristen Ailport and James Wallis who were awarded NY State Master Teacher accreditation. Both staff members are pictured below as they received their Tiger Paw award at our Board of Education Meeting on 3/8/22.
