“The teacher accelerator program (tap) is our community's solution to the teacher shortage. Tap provides college seniors not majoring in education and career-changing professionals with degrees not in the field of education with training to become full-time teachers at m-dcps. Tap facilitates hire within miami-dade county public schools (m-dcps) and guarantees job placement as a full-time teacher. Tap consists of 4 components: (1) a college/university teaching course in partnership with the university of miami, miami-dade college (mdc), and florida international university (fiu) with field experience in k-12 classrooms, (2) a paid summer internship in partnership with m-dcps, achieve miami, and teach for america-miami-dade where tap participants teach students enrolled in the summer 305 program (3) certification support, and (4) mentorship through the first year teaching. Tap's mission is to create pipelines to mobilize, train, and mentor new cohorts of educators to ensure every student has a qualified teacher. In 2024, tap will facilitate the hire of 150 new teachers (reaching over 3,000 students) in miami-dade county public schools to positively impact children's education by placing new teachers in k-12 classrooms.”
