Programs: Teacher Resource CenterThe Teacher Resource Center provides school and classroom supplies, at no cost, to eligible schools in the organization's eight-county service area. Schools in these counties are eligible to apply to The Teacher Resource Center program each spring if 70% or more of their student population qualifies for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Teachers from partner schools are invited to the Teacher Resource Center once per semester. Each teacher is guaranteed an allotment of core school supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, filler paper, crayons. Because of the generous donations we receive from the community, TEP also offers extra classroom supplies—like toys, clothing, cleaning supplies, furniture, etc. —that vary based on availability. Each time a teacher visits The Teacher Resource Center, they leave with approximately $1,000 worth of free supplies. Adopt-A-SchoolThe Adopt-A-School program addresses educational supply needs by equipping each student in a school with essential school supplies to complete their homework and creates an avenue of sustainable support to supply schools in economic distress with access to basic, critical supplies year-round at no cost. While the Teacher Resource Center helps teachers stock their classrooms, the Adopt-A-School program stocks an individual students' home with markers, erasers, glue, and more. STEAM Lending LibraryTEP's STEAM Lending Library Program equips teachers and students with high-tech resources. The STEAM program provides our partner teachers with classroom kits of ready-to-use, hands-on resources for teaching engaging lessons in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
