Students move through the program in a cohort.
The program was collaboratively planned by both university and school-site personnel. In the T2ARP program, teaching and learning are supported by collegial communication and interaction, community connections, collaboration and partnership among university and school-site faculty. In this school, curriculum and instruction are supported by a range of educational computing applications, interdisciplinary teaching, curriculum and instruction for diverse learners, and portfolio exhibitions for promotion and graduation. Student interns are integrated into these educational families from the start of the school year, and they share in the responsibility of curriculum planning, student advising, and committee work. Plans are underway to expand the program from being exclusively a middle level teacher preparation program to being focused on both middle level and secondary education.
