TSTT teacher mentors are preparing hundreds of high school
students for college. For many of our students, it means becoming
the first in their families to go to college, as well as a unique
opportunity to work with concerned teachers who help them to gain
the experience and knowledge necessary to lead the rewarding life
of a teacher.
We are very proud of the first core group of 45 TSTT graduates
who are currently working as teachers and making a positive impact
on the lives of thousands of children, and the current TSTT college
seniors we expect to graduate this year and begin teaching next
school year.
We are delighted to announce the expansion of the TSTT program
outside of New York State. TSTT has been operating in the State
of Virginia for nearly 3 years. High school students in Prince
William County public schools have been job shadowing their teacher
mentors who nurture their passion for learning, train them to
tutor other students, and encourage them to go to college and
become certified teachers.
We are thrilled to announce that our most recent college partner
is the second State
University to join our impressive roster of participating colleges,
which offer 50% tuition scholarships to TSTT graduates upon admission.
TSTT would never be able to offer such strong academic and personal
support to our high school and college students without the time
commitment and energy from our teacher mentors. Nor could we operate
this growing program without the generous contribution of funds
from a broad base of concerned school districts, individual donors,
corporations and foundations.
We invite all interested school districts and contributors to
contact us to learn more about our program and expansion plans
in New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey. Our vision is that
with your support, we may continue to grow and embolden our graduates
as they prepare the next generation of students to achieve their
goals and become qualified teachers.
Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers has made a commitment to:
- invest these contributions wisely in college preparation and
career development workshops provide an excellent high school
teacher training program;
- enable our high school students continue their education
in college and receive assistance in our SAT Prep program and
from our 21 partner colleges' 50% tuition scholarships;
- encourage their teaching certification; and
- ensure career placement in teaching positions in their
home communities.
Whether you can contribute $50 or $50,000, rest assured, the greatest
return on your investment is the future generation of qualified
teachers, for they will inspire other students to reach their full
potential.
On behalf of Today's Students, Tomorrow's Teachers, all of our
students, teacher mentors, dedicated staff and Board of Directors,
we are grateful for your interest in furthering our mission.
We look forward to your support as we shape the future generation
of our increasingly competitive and global society.
Bettye H. Perkins, Ed.D.
Executive Director
