GTEP funded a three-year project in the Local Educational Authority (LEA) (now Local Authority, LA) of Tower Hamlets (2003-2006). The main goal of this project was to raise students’ science attainment by teaching science through scientific enquiry (Sc1) using the collaboration of GTEP’s TEEP (Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme) and SEP (Science Enhancement Programme) in Tower Hamlets. The Institute of Education, University of London was commissioned to carry out an independent evaluation of the project’s evolution and its impact on the teaching and learning of science.

The evaluation involved the investigation of the following key research questions - who is involved in the implementation of TEEP and in what way; the impact of TEEP on changes in observable classroom activities, and why were these changes adopted and not others; the impact of TEEP on changes in pupils’ learning experiences, and how did pupils view these changes. It also looked at what was the impact of TEEP on pupils’ learning outcomes; how did the impact of TEEP relate to the four factors of the environment of TEEP implementation - the ownership of the TEEP intervention, the type of provider of TEEP training, the age of the learners targetted by the TEEP intervention and the nature of the target group for teep implementation.

This report presents further findings from the evaluation of the Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme (TEEP), building on and developing the previous work. The evaluation consists of the following main elements - evaluation of the TEEP Level 2 and intern training events, school visits, case study school visits to seven schools and Student Focus Groups - discussion groups with students about any affective impact from being taught through the TEEP programme.
