Frequenty Asked Questions
What is the difference between a teaching license and an endorsement?
All teachers in Vermont must meet the initial 16 “principles” (requirements) for licensure. In addition, teachers “specialize” in a content (endorsement) area such as English, Social Studies, Business Administration, or an age grouping such as Elementary (K-6) or Middle (5-9).
What are the hours of the program?
It is a 6-month (August 20-January 20/January 20-June 20) program which runs from 7:30-3:00 daily.
Can I have a job at the same time?
It is extremely difficult to meet the requirements of the TAP program and the Peer Review process while holding another job. This is a full-time commitment.
What is the cost of the program?
The cost of the TAP program is $6500 for one semester. Upon completion of the program interns pay a fee of $1200 to the Vermont Department of Education in order to go through the Peer Review process.
How am I going to pay for this program?
The Vermont Student Assistance Program (VSAC) provides low-interest loans for TAP, the Peer Review process ($1200) and cost of living expenses. Contact a VSAC Adult Outreach Counselor at (802) 655-9602 for more information. Other sources of funding may be D.O.L., "Troops to Teachers", and IBM's "Transition to Teaching".
