What kind of professional development do TAP teachers receive?
TAP's ongoing applied professional growth calls on teachers to become active agents of their own improvement. Each teacher works in cooperation with his or her Mentor and Master teachers to develop an Individual Growth Plan (IGP).
As well, each belongs to a professional learning group called a Cluster group. Master and Mentor teachers within the school lead these Cluster sessions, which focus on identified student needs and teacher collaboration for instructional improvement.
Both IGP and cluster group work help teachers meet student learning needs by connecting research-based, data-driven best practices to daily classroom instruction. Our teachers spend approximately 2 hours each week working in collaboration with other teachers to analyze student data and tailor individualized instruction for students.
