TAP Goals:
1. Increase student achievement by helping teachers and administrators enhance their professional skills.
2. Make teaching a more attractive and rewarding career choice.

TAP provides teachers with an ongoing system of professional development that is job-embedded, collaborative, student-centered and led by expert instructors.

TAP restructures the school schedule to provide time during the regular school day for teachers to meet, learn, plan, mentor and share with other teachers, so they can constantly improve the quality of their instruction and, hence, increase their students' academic achievement. This collaborative time allows teachers to learn new instructional strategies and share best practices to be more effective engaging students in the classroom.

TAP professional growth includes cluster groups, individual coaching and classroom-based support.
Teachers are responsible for meeting the TAP Teaching Skills, Knowledge and Responsibility Standards, as Well as for the academic growth of their students. TAP helps teachers meet accountability standards through ongoing individualized training, mentoring and classroom support.

TAP-certified staff analyze classroom instruction for every TAP teacher four times a year, comparing instruction techniques and performance with TAP Instructional Standards. Conferences are held between the teacher and evaluator before and after announced observations to discuss areas of reinforcement and refinement with the goal of strengthening classroom instructional techniques in order to meet identified student needs.
At the school year's end, teachers are eligible for performance awards based on the learning growth achieved by their students throughout the school year.
