Peter Cooper

Peter Cooper is the President and founder of Total Training Solutions (TTS) of Millburn, NJ, one of the premier providers of training for educators in New Jersey.

Mr. Cooper launched TTS in 1995 to help school districts prepare for the expanding use of technology in the classroom. At the time, Mr. Cooper expressed concern about the capability of teachers to use technology as an instructional tool. He noted that school officials were spending millions of taxpayer dollars on technology, yet few teachers had the skills to integrate technology in the curriculum.

Realizing the need for training, school districts and independent schools throughout New Jersey hired TTS to work with their teachers. The rapidly-growing company now serves a variety of school districts, large and small, as well as private and parochial schools.

Born in Newark, Mr. Cooper graduated from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in 1979 and went on to the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL, where he graduated in 1983 with a BA/BS degree in Business Management and Finance.  Mr. Cooper wanted to offer quality, results driven training for educators, drawing upon his extensive knowledge of technology and business operations. Consequently, TTS was born. His initial strategy was to gather information from the people who run the schools: boards of education, superintendents, and other school administrators. After two years of synthesizing this information, he responded to their needs with a user-friendly process of training for educators. His well thought out methodology, combined with a staff of highly qualified instructors, led to immediate results in the districts that hired his company.

TTS is growing rapidly, and is now an indispensable component of professional development initiatives in many schools throughout New Jersey. Mr. Cooper believes that by helping teachers think differently about teaching children we can maximize the learning potential for all children.

Mr. Cooper is married with three children; Stefani 4, Zachary 6 and Michelle 17.
