NetAPT* is a non-degree, certification-only program supporting participants as they seek an initial teaching license. Using a competency-based structure, NetAPT meets individual needs through customized curriculum, flexible scheduling, and personalized support.
Collaboration! NetAPT is established on the foundation of partnership and collaboration. University and school partners work together to design content and support participant progression. Current partners include: Fairfield County Schools, Kershaw County School, Rock Hill Schools, Chester County Schools, Clover School District, and York School District 1. Interested in becoming a partner? Contact Dr. Lisa Johnson at johnsonle@winthrop.edu.
Subject Specific! Modules are specific to subject area with tasks applicable to school and district context. Available programs reflect partner district needs and include: French, Middle Level (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies), Secondary (English, Math, and Science), Spanish, and Special Education.
Flexible Structure! Through a competency-based program, participants proceed through modules at their own pace. Enrollment is structured in three-month "blocks" with suggested completion occuring in 15-18 months. A Learning Coach supports and encourages forward progression.
