🌴 On this episode of Pillars of the Community, hosted by Harry Gottlieb, we welcome Jasmine from the Teacher Accelerator Program (TAP) and its sister organization Achieve Miami, for an engaging conversation on the teacher shortage, building new pathways into education, and strengthening our community from the classroom out. A born-and-raised Miamian and former Miami-Dade first-grade teacher, Jasmine shares how TAP has trained more than 700 teachers in four years and brought 500 new teachers into local classrooms.

The single most important in-school factor to predict outcomes for students… the classroom teacher. When they’re strong, students are strong.

Two organizations, two missions, one heart, and one founder.

🍎 In this episode, we discuss:
– The teacher shortage across South Florida
– How the TAP training pathway works
– Recruiting career changers, college seniors, and substitutes
– Making the pathway affordable and accessible
– Public-private partnerships and community support
– The difference between TAP and Achieve Miami

Don’t miss this insightful conversation and stay tuned for future episodes celebrating the people, organizations, and institutions that support our community.
