' We believe that if we are to achieve world class standards, we need a critical mass of teachers within the profession, who have seen at first hand what they do in other countries and then apply that knowledge back in the classroom ' - Michael Barber, DEE
Introduction to TIPD
Raising standards through international experience.
|
The Teachers' International Professional Development Programme (TIPD) aims to develop world class standards through world class experience.
The programme ensures that wherever excellence is taking place, teachers, schools
and Local Authorities can access and review practice.
TIPD is concerned with enhancing teacher' skills through focussed study visits and exchanges, providing
a breadth of understanding about the alternative pedagogies employed in
different countries.
What works in the classroom is the key issue, but an
understanding of process, content and microteaching strategies is also crucial.
