Our Vision

At Brazosport ISD, the Registered Teacher Apprenticeship Program (RTAP) partnership is a community based solution that seeks to support sustainable talent pipelines and expanded pathways to develop teachers; with a commitment to understand and remove barriers that have impacted one's ability to successfully enter into the teaching profession with a low-cost/no cost pathway.

Offering prospective teachers—including paraprofessionals, career changers, and college students—the chance to work in the classroom and employment while completing their preparation to become a certified teacher.

The Registered Teacher Apprenticeship Program provides multiple entrances with scaffolded support to enter the teaching profession, also known as on-ramps; which are designed to meet people where they are in their college and professional journey.
