Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme (TEEP)
Aim
To improve the effectiveness of teachers by training them in a model of effective teaching and learning.
Background
The Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme (TEEP) is based around a framework of teaching and learning which includes a generic planning framework underpinned by five key strands. These are:
- Accelerated learning strategies
- Assessment for learning
- Thinking skills
- Effective use of ICT to support learning
- Collaborative problem-solving
Training is offered at three levels. Level 1 is aimed at classroom practitioners, level 2 at those with a coaching or disseminating role (Advanced Skills Teachers, Heads of Department) and level 3 is for those who have completed levels 1 and 2 and who wish to offer level 1 courses within their own school or locally. The training is highly experiential and models the TEEP model.
TEEP was developed in partnership with Cramlington High School, Northumberland, and is currently offered in Birmingham, Dudley, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, York , Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Beccles, and Darlington. Training materials include CDs of the TEEP model in practice, thinking skills posters, leaflets and booklets.
While the TEEP training is generic, and participants have been drawn from every education sector and age-range, a new primary training course is currently in development, and will be available from September 2007.
The TEEP programme has developed a working partnership with the Programme for Enhancing Effective Learning (PEEL) in Melbourne.
