Program Structure
We believe flexibility and job-embedded professional learning is essential to ensure a sustainable and high-quality program. That’s why our pathway to the LPE designation program takes place over an entire school year so that participants can apply their learning and practice the new skills attained in the program authentically by supporting teachers in their building. Throughout the program, teachers create a portfolio of artifacts that demonstrate their mastery of core content and coaching skills from the training sessions and their coaching work with mentees.
March to May: The LPE application is open! The application deadline is May 20th, 2024.
August to December: LPE candidates will complete four learning modules, including (live) instructional sessions and PLCs via Zoom and training materials and deliverables via Google Classroom. At the same time, they will immediately apply their learning and mentor at least one teacher candidate in their school building. LPEs will also receive quarterly in-person site visits from the TNTP staff.
January to May: LPE candidates will continue regular support with their mentees. Additionally, in the culminating (fifth) learning module, each LPE candidate will identify and research an area of growth aligned with the needs of their school and/or school improvement plan. There will be regular check-ins on their progress in the self-study, and LPEs will have a final presentation, including recommendations based on their research, which they will share with school and district leaders and the TNTP LPE staff.
