Why We Exist

CTAPP believes that a better prepared teacher will persist in the field longer. In partnering with excellent educator preparation programs, we strive to create robust teacher preparation pathways accessible to all candidates, specifically those serving in communities with richly diverse PK-12 student populations. 


At CTAPP, we firmly believe that all teacher candidates deserve access to equitable, practice-driven preparation to ensure day one readiness. Together, CTAPP partners with educator preparation programs to implement a high-quality, sustainable teacher preparation model aimed at increasing teacher effectiveness, diversity, and retention.
