Program accomplishments

  • Teams Improving Practice (TIP)is a professional learning experience that improves teaching and learning. TIP does not focus on how to teach but instead on how students learn using Learning Principles based on neuroscience and cognitive psychology. TIP guides teachers on how to adjust teaching and learning in accordance to these Learning Principles. TIP has been shown to help students become more successful in school. Learning about learning is a new pursuit for most students, teachers and administrators. TIP improved classroom learning by a whole letter grade in classrooms representing 4600 students in one Texas study. Leadership training also uses the learning sciences to inform leaders on how to create organizational improvement.

  • The expenses incurred enabled FASL to deliver Teams Improving Practice(TIP)professional learning institutes to create collective teacher efficacy in participating schools by creating peer examples of improved student learning. The program design requires 9 months of contact time, starting early in the school year so that teachers in the cohort could influence other teachers to modify their teaching practices beginning mid-yearfor Montgomery, Perry and Hale Counties, all high need school districts. Within one month after the first training session, 72% of teachers reported implementing a new strategy and a related increase in student learning. By the end of school year, only 2.1% did not know if their impact had increased.We can conclude that teachers who apply and measure the results of theirprofessional learning will experience an increase in sulf-efficacy. After only one month 80% of teachers did report sharing their results with other teachers, a first step towards collective teacher efficacy, a strategy highly correlated with better student outcomes. These expenses also help to layout books for That Could Be ME!0
