The Teacher Assistance Program (TAP) provides
interested school districts with funds for beginning teacher/ESA (school
counselor, social worker, psychologist; occupational or physical therapist;
speech-language pathologist; or nurse) assistance through the iGrants process.
With these funds, districts agree to support new teachers with mentoring from
experienced, exemplary teachers, as well as with training for new teachers and
mentors, opportunities to observe each other and other teachers, and assistance
with professional growth planning.
