What to Expect

TAPP on-line training has six modules designed to teach you about:

  • Centering family culture
  • Family school partnerships
  • TAPP process
  • TAPP stages

Each module includes:

  • Narrated slides
  • Required readings
  • Guided notes
    • We recommend that you download the guided notes before starting each module and complete them as you go through each module’s slides.
  • A post-test
    • Each module will have a corresponding post-test. You must score 80% or higher before you begin the next module.

Once you have completed all six modules and scored 80% or higher on every post-test, you will receive a certificate of completion.
