TAP has been an amazing program to be in. It has helped me so much with the kids I work with and the TAP community is so welcoming. The entire program has been so amazing and I can’t recommend it enough. The TAP program was long and time consuming, but it was fun, helped beyond belief in the workplace, and taught me about points that I wouldn’t have even thought of, that help me in the real world as well.
TAP has helped so much with how I teach my kids. It’s helped me learn how to listen to my kids, how to keep them engaged with the lesson, and how to make sure that they’re having fun. I help teach a Hebrew language class, and with that many kids it can be hard to help keep their focus. With the skills that TAP taught me, I can now make them feel heard, and keep the lesson entertaining.
The TAP community is also extremely welcoming, I’ve made so many friends here. Even over zoom, you can have awesome conversations with the other kids. And the in-person gatherings are twice as fun. It was awesome to meet in-person and do some more accessible hands-on group activities. The entire program was amazing, but I think that those were my favorite parts. All in all, I loved the TAP fellowship program, it was so much fun.
