Set out to change that...
Most teachers aren't aware of this statistic.
Many of these programs are designed to place candidates into classrooms quickly while they complete certification requirements.
That opportunity matters! It creates access, income, and a real classroom experience.
But it also creates a challenge most candidates are not prepared for.
The Reality Most
Candidates Aren’t Told...
Programs prioritize compliance over instructional decision-making. They are heavily focused on compliance (understandably) but lacking in Pedagogical preparation.
Time works against you, not for you. Because you are teaching full-time, studying often gets pushed aside.
You are learning in survival mode, not strategy mode. Your focus has been on classroom management, lesson planning, and making it through the week.
No one shows you how to think through the exam.
You are given resources, modules, and practice questions.
Support is often generalized, not individualized.
Most programs support large groups of candidates at once.
These programs opened the door for you to step into the classroom!
But they weren’t designed to fully prepare you for how to think through this exam.
We saw that gap.
And we built FREE resources, including our YouTube channel and SPED 186 Community, to help you get started. Our Cohort is the intentional support to help you close that gap.
The challenge with this Exam is Fatigue & Laboring Through Distractors

"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. It took my SPED test 4 times I kept getting 238 out of 240. I signed up with TT Innovative Solutions and their work is amazing. Ms. Gipson left nothing on the table. I took the test again and scored a 256! "
