Louisiana Teacher Assistance and Assessment Program
Louisiana Teacher Assistance and Assessment Program (LaTAAP)
The primary goal of the LaTAAP is the improvement of teaching and learning. An equally important goal is to ensure that teachers certified in Louisiana are able to effectively provide instruction. Successful completion of the LaTAAP is required for new teachers entering service for the first time in a Louisiana public school system. The program has two basic purposes:
- To provide new teachers with a planned program of leadership and support from experienced educators
- To provide assurance to the state prior to the issuance of a permanent Louisiana teacher certificate that the new teacher demonstrates compentency in the understanding and use of the Louisiana Components of Effective Teaching, the teaching standards that form the assessment criteria.
