TESSA Key Resources

The TESSA ‘Key Resources’ summarise some of the teaching approaches that you and your teachers will find helpful. They provide a framework for teacher development.

Activity 2.5: TESSA Key Resources

Timing: (Allow approximately 30 minutes)

Open the document ‘TESSA Key Resources’ [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]   and look through the contents page. Choose one or two resources to read in more detail.

  • How could you use the Key Resources with your student teachers? If each student had them available on a mobile phone, how could you capitalise on this?
  • Are there any Key Resources which you could use to plan your own teaching? Think about the topics that you will be teaching in the near future.
  • Write a plan in your study notebook which draws on or uses one of the Key Resources. Note which Key Resource you would use and how you would use it.
