Key Components
Students (rising 8th through 12th graders) are pre-taught some of the upcoming year’s math, providing an TCP’s model combines three major stakeholder groups – students, parents, and educators – who work together to support students in advanced mathematics. Together these components provide full wrap-around supports for students and create system changes in schools.
The Summer Academy
Students (rising 8th through 12th graders) are pre-taught some of the upcoming year’s math, providing an opportunity to get ahead and build confidence.
Academic Center
Tutoring support is available through the school year from math teachers and TCP Peer Teachers.
Student Cohorts
Students are grouped into designated sections to drive continued collaboration and a sense of belonging.
Peer Teaching
Junior/senior TCP scholars can become paid Peer Teachers for the Summer Academy and Academic Center, driving persistence and achievement.
The Pride Curriculum
Students learn about the accomplishments of STEM professionals of color during Summer Academy, reinforcing beliefs of high achievement and belonging.
Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history."
Carter G. Woodson
A people without the knowledge of their history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots."
Marcus Garvey
TCP Advisory Councils
Comprised of TCP students’ parents, school administration and student representatives, these committees meet regularly and serve as powerful advocates for TCP. TCP also provides parents training and regular updates, so they know what to expect and can better support their children.
Professional development/coaching
TCP provides training for educators to rethink systems, structures and behaviors that suppress minority achievement.
