Cincinnati Schools Initiative
Cincinnati Schools are thrilled to share that John P. Parker School, South Avondale School, and Whittier School will participate in a nationwide pilot program designed to elevate teacher quality. These schools were selected due to their federal rankings within the No Child Left Behind framework. This initiative aims to demonstrate the significant impact of quality teaching on student success and to create professional development opportunities for educators to refine their skills and receive recognition for their efforts.
Purpose of the Teacher Advancement Program
The Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) addresses the issue of young, talented educators leaving the profession prematurely. By offering rewarding career opportunities and recognition, TAP seeks to retain skilled teachers within the Cincinnati Public School system. The ultimate goal is to make teaching a highly attractive career that draws talented individuals to serve Cincinnati's students.
Superintendent Rosa Blackwell expressed her enthusiasm for the program, noting its alignment with other instructional initiatives in the district. "Research shows that quality teaching is crucial for student achievement," she said. "This program enhances teaching by focusing instructional resources where they're needed most?"in the classroom."
Both the Ohio Board of Education and the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers endorse TAP. Sue Taylor, President of the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers, stated, "This reform initiative structures the valuable work our teachers are already doing. It’s a value-added model that tracks student progress from start to finish, highlighting the teacher's contribution."
The National Institute for Excellence in Teaching also applauds Cincinnati Public Schools for implementing TAP. President Lewis C. Solomon remarked, "We're pleased that Cincinnati Public Schools and the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers are taking this bold step. TAP aligns with district goals to improve instruction and boost student achievement."
