This is not intended to replace college teacher education programs, but is tailored for individuals who meet the program requirements and desire to transition into a career in education.<\/p>\n GaTAPP seeks to equip candidates with the skills to ensure a reasonable expectation of initial success in the classroom while participating in an internship\/induction program to facilitate and monitor the move toward teaching mastery. The same rigorous standards as that of a traditional teacher-training program are the foundations for GaTAPP.<\/p>\n Candidates who successfully complete the MCSD GaTAPP program will meet the requirements for an induction teaching certificate issued by the state of Georgia .<\/p>\n \u00a0Meeting the admission requirements is not a guarantee of an interview nor acceptance into MCSD GaTAPP.\u00a0 Candidates may not be enrolled in another degree, certification, nor endorsement program while in MCSD TAPP.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”3.27.3″ custom_margin=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding=”10px||9px||false|false” border_width_top=”2px” border_color_top=”#000000″ global_module=”565″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our Mission & Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n Our mission is to inspire and equip all students to achieve unlimited potential.<\/p>\n The MCSD is a beacon of educational excellence where all are known, valued, and inspired.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”4.16″ text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”facebook” url=”https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/muscogeecountyschooldistrict\/” icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#012169″ background_enable_color=”on” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#012169″ button_border_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”twitter” url=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/MCSDSchools” icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#012169″ background_enable_color=”on” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#012169″ global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]twitter[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”instagram” url=”https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mcsdschools\/” icon_color=”#ffffff” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#012169″ background_enable_color=”on” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”#012169″ global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Muscogee County School District<\/p>\n 2960 Macon Road |\u00a0Columbus, GA 31906<\/span><\/p>\n 706-748-2000<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||391px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Georgia Teacher Academy for Preparation and Pedagogy (GaTAPP) is a classroom-based teacher preparation option for individuals who have the basic qualifications to teach early childhood, middle-grades, secondary or P-12 education but have not completed a teacher preparation program. The program is not intended to replace regular college teacher education programs. It is, instead, an alternative option for individuals who hold a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher from an accredited institute, but who did not complete teacher education preparation requirements as part of their degree programs. Georgia TAPP seeks to equip teacher-candidates with the skills to ensure a reasonable expectation of initial success in their classrooms, and to put in place a supervised internship\/induction program that will help them move toward subsequent mastery of teaching.\n
