What kind of professional development do TAP teachers receive?
TAP’s ongoing applied professional growth enables teachers to become active agents in their own improvement. Each teacher meets weekly with peers in a professional learning community called a cluster group.” Master and mentor teachers within the school lead these cluster sessions, which focus on instructional strategies to meet student needs. Cluster group work helps teachers meet student learning needs by connecting research-based, data-driven best practices to daily classroom instruction. TAP teachers are also supported in the classroom through regular follow-up activities including lesson demonstrations, modeling, team-teaching, observation and reflective feedback.
