The hallmark of TIPS is mentorship support via a trained mentor and job-embedded professional learning. With inquiry as its focus, candidates enhance their ability to become a highly qualified and effective practitioner. Current research finds indicate that the knowledge of teaching practices, student learning outcomes, standards-based subject matter content and the ability to reflect on one's own practice are the strongest predictors of student success and teacher professional growth.

As preliminary credential holders collaborate and reflect on their own practice with their mentor, the program is confident that the cycle of PLAN, TEACH,REFLECT AND APPLY will be meaningful to all candidates.
