There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The Teacher of Color Preparatory Institute (TCPI)helps identify, prepare and support those who want to become exceptional teachers and change agents in education. TCPI is a professional pathway for teachers of color who want to develop their craft and become lifelong educators. It is an opportunity for schools committed to diversity and inclusivity to partner in our effort to grow a teacher of color workforce that is robust, knowledgeable and diverse. And it is ultimately a way for schools to present a diverse teaching and administrative staff to its students so they have the ability to see knowledge through a variety of lenses.
