What People Are Saying About TAP

Jim DeMint, U.S. Senator (SC)
"South Carolina is implementing one of the most successful teacher quality programs in the country, and the increase in student achievement under TAP has been impressive. I am delighted to be a long time supporter of this important initiative, and to work to find ways to ensure that every student in South Carolina has a quality teacher every year they are in school."
