Teaching Excellence Preparation Program
What is a ‘classroom in a box’ and who benefits from this?
Graduating teachers, agreeing to participate in the TEPP pilot program receive a grade-dependent “classroom in a box” as a reward for their involvement. Initial discussions have identified the Kaplan Early Learning Company to prepare these materials and put-together the turn-key classrooms, for the implementation of the pilot program.

The FutureCorps EduTube will include training videos of mentorship sessions, with highlights of suggested evidence-based teaching strategies from the TEPP pilot program, in addition to training/video materials from other partner organizations (to be determined).
