CAP - TNTC's CLASSROOM-BASED APPRENTICE PROGRAM
M.ED & LICENSE
At The National Teachers College, we put students first - preparing purpose-driven educators through innovative programs and hands-on training. Together, we're building classrooms where every child belongs, every teacher inspires, and every learner has the opportunity to thrive. CAP is TNTC's flagship program that prepares teachers through a proven, classroom-based apprentice model. Candidates train in one of our site schools, earning their graduate degree and teaching license in 12 months. If you believe in the power of education to change lives, whether you are a recent graduate or have worked in other professions, the CAP program is your path to make that difference.
FELLOWS M.ED. PROGRAM
