The ATTP is now closed to new participants
The Appalachian Transition to Teaching Program (ATTP) is funded by a $1.6 million dollar U.S. Department of Education grant awarded to the Reich College of Education at Appalachian State University. The purpose of the grant is to provide financial resources and University support to individuals who hold four-year or advanced degrees and who are interested in obtaining a license in critical need areas. When licensed, program completers are committed to seek a job in a designated high need (low wealth) school district.
The College of Education was awarded grant dollars in October 2002 to fund the program for five years through September 2007. Due to the time required to complete course work for licensure, the ATTP stopped accepting participants in March 2006. Although the ATTP is no longer accepting participants, individuals with degrees (four year or higher) may pursue licensure through the Reich College of Education.
