Hey guys,

Per my last post, I am sharing my excel of various TAPP programs that help career changers secure a career in teaching and potentially help graduates have some of their student loans forgiven.

I encourage any professional to look into teaching as a route toward student loan forgiveness. I am in Atlanta, GA and this is my personal route towards student loan forgiveness. SEE BELOW

The Georgia Teacher Alternative Preparation Program® (Georgia TAPP) is a classroom-based teacher preparation option for individuals who have the basic qualifications to teach early childhood, middle-grades, secondary or P-12 education but have not completed a teacher preparation program.

1. Take the required GACE exams (Around $500 total)

2. Pick a subject you want to teach, preferably what your college degree is in and take that content exam.

3. Take the Program Admission Assessment: Math, Writing, Reading

4. Apply to several TAPP programs

5. In order to raise your odds, apply to several school districts’ TAPP programs

6. Preferably, apply to those in close driving distance to you or apply to TAPP programs whose applications are free.

7. Set up a https://mypsc.gapsc.org account

8. Take Ga Ethics Exam ($30)

9. Check my excel sheet for TAPP programs in Georgia

10. Create a great rotating teaching resume highlighting your experience

11. Create a cover letter.

12. Interchange the school districts on your cover letter

13. Create an email specifically for your job process

14. Use this Google account to communicate.

15. Save files to Google Drive for easy access

16. Sign up for various school district hiring sites using this email

17. Example: https://www.teachgeorgia.org

18. Get at least 3-5 professional and personal references

19. Save those to your email to send when required.

20. Be proactive: Obtain

21. College transcripts

23. Background check

24. SAT/ACT scores

25. Personally email TAPP hiring coordinators to push your resume along
