New Hampshire’s Unique Educational Experiment
The state of New Hampshire is currently engaged in one of the most progressive educational experiments in the nation. All colleges and universities that provide educator development have joined together into a formal network designed to offer our students the highest quality in teacher preparation. We are currently in the process of piloting a new portfolio process for certification called the TCAP, which is based on having students demonstrate, through their student teaching and course work, that they have met all of the highest competencies required to teach. This is all part of the State’s on-going effort to transform teaching and learning.
