The curriculum enriches learning experiences and outcomes through collaboration of the student, on-site principal mentor and UT field supervisor, and faculty to provide opportunities for students to put theory into practice through a directed field experience.
TPLA is a 12-month master’s program that prepares graduates to be leaders of socially just, equitable and high-achieving public schools. Working closely with partner districts, TPLA’s goal is to recruit, prepare, and retain a diverse group of school leaders who reflect the student demographics within the partner districts.

What is "Human Capital?"
What is a "Courant?"
Courant also means running according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Hippos run. We run to ensure that our students are getting the very best that they deserve and need. We run to ensure that the spirit of the River Horse never dies. If you didn't know, River Horse means Hippo; It is the literal English translation of the Greek word Hippopotamus!
Our Courant will be composed of topics that relate to career pathways, growing us as individuals, and other topics that relate to the human capital component of our work.
