The Teacher Effectiveness Programme

Steve Smith from the LA kindly furnished me with this useful website link. The Teacher Effectiveness Programme (TEEP) was set up in 2002 by the Gatsby Charity Foundation to develop a model of effective teaching and learning drawn from research and best practice. They have created a model for Learning and Teaching that is interesting and if you sign-up to their site you can access some high quality lesson plans and resources. Terry O'Dea from Bexley LA said:

"At the recent Triple Science seminar I attended, I came across TEEP for getting a powerful model of teaching and learning going in a school/authority - as in Kingston-upon-Hull and Birmingham. TEEP seems to incorporate all of the NS aspects we try to deliver but as a coherent, generic model. The power of the model, according to Hull LA colleagues, is that all teachers in a school use the same model regardless of subject area and so a common vocabularly is possible across the departments. Easier for leading and monitoring teaching and learning for the SLT/ML also. It is also cross-phase in application - ie. a universal model.
Hull colleagues characterised the outcomes from applying TEEP emphases as 'more independent and active learning going on in schools across departments'.
