Who We Are

Across the country, there are tens of thousands of teacher vacancies. As a result, students are being denied the educational opportunities they deserve. The Teacher Accelerator Program is an organization dedicated to mitigating the teacher shortage. Our mission is to recruit, prepare, and mentor a localized pipeline of educators through strong community partnerships, thereby ensuring every student has a qualified teacher. Through community-based programs, we offer a clear pathway for college graduates with non-education majors to gain the certification and training needed to become classroom teachers.
