T.E.T., Teacher Effectiveness Training, offers teachers the essential communication and conflict resolution skills they need to have high-quality relationships with their students so there will be less conflict and more teaching-learning time.
T.E.T. is a ten-week, 30-hour program designed to involve participants very actively in their own learning. Teachers will learn “operational definitions” — specific tools, things they can actually say and do — to create a climate of mutual respect in their classrooms.
In T.E.T., teachers learn methods that are substitutes for the use of power and authority — methods that give them more influence, not less, with students of all ages.
We use the following four-step instructional process in each session:
Structure
Instructor presentations, in-class reading, audio-visual aids.
Involvement
Role plays, workbook exercises, one-on-one skill practice.
Process
Group discussions, one-on-one sharing and reflection to explore new learnings and insights.
Application
Individual and group activities to consolidate learning and make specific action plans. Involves workbook and text reading and out-of-class skill practice assignments.
