How are schools selected to participate in TAP?
Generally, schools are invited by state departments of education or district superintendents to learn about the system and apply to become TAP schools. NIET reviews applications and selects schools based on their demonstrated ability to implement the system completely and effectively, ability to fund and sustain the system, as well as the level of faculty interest in participating in the system. Application to TAP is competitive, and teachers in the schools must vote to join the system.
