成人头条's Teacher Apprentice Program鈩� (TAP) and Credit Union of America (CUA) joined to celebrate the achievements of TAP鈩� graduates at their annual pinning ceremony for the December TAP program graduates. This brings the total TAP graduates for the 2023-2024 academic year to an impressive 203, showcasing the program's commitment to shaping the future of educators.

In a significant stride towards supporting education, CUA has purchased 107 Praxis exam vouchers through the Teacher Licensure Test Support Fund as of December 2023. This fund, established in partnership with the College of Applied Studies (CAS), aims to alleviate financial barriers for student teachers pursuing licensure exams.
The Fall 2023 TAP enrollment included 677 students in over 164 school districts from across the State of Kansas, reflecting the continuous growth and success of WSU's Teacher Apprentice Program.
The Teacher Apprentice Program鈩� (TAP鈩�) is a grow-your-own opportunity for schools to fill teacher vacancies through a teacher licensure pathway for para-educators employed in Kansas districts. Learn more here.
