Since adopting TAP in the 2005-06 school year, Audelia Creek Elementary — where 81 percent of the students are economically disadvantaged — has been transformed into a stable, stimulating learning environment yielding high achievement for students and teachers alike. Before TAP, Audelia Creek was barely clinging to an "academically acceptable" state rating, largely due to a poor teacher retention rate of 33 percent. Strengthening teacher skills and collaborating as a team with TAP has helped turn the school around. In every year of TAP implementation, Audelia Creek has received the highest "value added" score of "5," indicating "far above average" results compared to its peers in the state.

Since adopting TAP in the 2003-04 school year, Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff Elementary — where roughly 75 percent of the diverse student body is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch — has strengthened the collaboration and effectiveness of its faculty and demonstrated steady increases in student achievement. The school increased its state school performance score (SPS) from 87.6 in the 2002-03 year before TAP to 107.7 by 2007-08, earning the ranking of top non-magnet elementary school in Jefferson Parish. In addition, Hazel Park/Hilda Knoff received the highest value-added score of “5” — measuring how much students learn from year to year. This means that the school showed “far above average” achievement gains compared to similar schools throughout the state.

Since adopting the Teacher Advancement Program (TAP)™ in 2004, Forest Hill Elementary — a rural Title I school in Louisiana's Rapides Parish — has been transformed into a vibrant, collaborative learning environment where teachers are continually learning new strategies to meet the needs of its student population. In turn, they are reaping student achievement gains: Forest Hill's School Performance Score jumped from 105.2 to 114.7 after its first year of TAP, and to 124.5 in the 2005-06 school year — the largest growth in the parish. In 2006, the school was selected as one of Louisiana's two Title I Distinguished Schools of the Year. In February 2008, Forest Hill was named the top high-poverty school in Louisiana.
