Course Structure

This course enables you to reflect on realistic scenarios in a school-based setting, consider your responses, and receive real-time, tailored feedback from experienced teachers. The course is designed to support your professional learning by allowing you to engage with a variety of situations that you may encounter in your own classroom in a virtual environment.

Get started

After enrolling, we will send participants an activation email. This email will enable them to create a TSP account and access the course through the dashboard.

Scenarios

In each module, beginning teachers will view five scenarios, rate the appropriateness of three possible responses, and write a brief rationale for each. They will then discover how experienced teachers rated each response and, most importantly, why.

Feedback reports

Feedback reports at the end of each module show new teachers their overall alignment with experienced teachers and include resources, readings and strategies for practice.

Evidencing

Once participants finish the course, they can download a comprehensive report and a certificate of completion.

Track progress

Organisations have the ability to track participant progress, identify individuals in need of additional support, and evaluate the effectiveness of the course by viewing individual and collective data after logging in.

Course resources

Hosting seminars in conjunction with the T-Insight courses is completely optional and depends on your requirements and preferences. However, you can choose to facilitate guided group discussions as a great way to encourage your students and/or staff to discuss the classroom scenarios and related educational concepts and issues in more depth. We provide resources and seminar guides that you can utilise to lead seminars following each T-Insight module, which are designed to:

a) Stimulate discussion amongst participants

b) Enable participants to share multiple perspectives of teaching & learning

c) Further build participants’ teaching confidence and classroom readiness.
