Teacher Opportunity Corps (TOC)

The Teacher Opportunity Corps (TOC) is an opportunity for students to gain experience in culturally responsive teaching through participation in clinically rich activities such as faculty-student conversations, workshops, professional development, and additional hours of practice in the field.
