The Tools and Knowledge for continued Success!
Continuing Education
The participating teachers enrolled in the TIP program have access to ongoing coursework/modules through their first year in the classroom. ESE teachers participating in the SERVS program (pre-approved by school district) who are in need of coursework to achieve “highly qualified” status, professional certification or to obtain required endorsements may be eligible for tuition funds through their district or Teacher Access Point (TAP).
TAP supports teachers with tuition costs at an in-state public university rate. For more information or to apply please access the documents below.
