Clayton Morris to Participate in WestTeach

Posted

MARTIN, Tenn. – Clayton Morris, of South Fulton, was selected for the University of Tennessee at Martin’s 2022 WestTeach program. Program applicants must be recommended by their principal, director of schools or superintendent, and only one teacher per school district is chosen to participate each year. 

Morris is a science teacher at West Carroll Jr/Sr High School.  He is on the school leadership team and is the head high school football coach. He has earned two master’s degrees from Murray State University, one in teacher leadership, and the other being in agriculture. 

WestTeach is the premier leadership-development program for teachers in the 21 counties of West Tennessee. The program topics will expose teachers to relevant and influential issues that can shape and reshape the classroom engagement for their students. Teachers will be challenged and equipped to translate their WestTeach experiences into transformational opportunities for their students. The WestTeach mission is to engage and equip West Tennessee teachers with the tools and leadership skills for success in and outside the classroom.
