| LOUISIANA TEACHER
ASSISTANCE AND ASSESSMENT PROGRAM The primary
goal of the Louisiana Teacher Assistance and
Assessment Program (LaTAAP) is the improvement of teaching
and learning. An equally important goal is to ensure
that teachers certified in Louisiana are able to
effectively provide instruction. Successful
completion of the LaTAAP is required for new
teachers entering service for the first time in a
Louisiana public school system. The program has two
basic purposes:
To provide new teachers with a planned program of
leadership and support from experienced educators
To provide assurance to the state prior to the
issuance of a permanent Louisiana teacher
certificate that the new teacher demonstrates
competency in the understanding and use of the
Louisiana Components of Effective Teaching, the
teaching standards that form the assessment
criteria. |
