Teacher Support Teams in Primary and Secondary Schools

Teacher support teams are school-based, problem-solving groups which function to support pupils indirectly through teacher collaboration.

The principle behind these support teams is to make the most of the knowledge and skills of teachers already in a school.

This handbook offers training information and activities useful in the setting up, running and evaluation of this provision, where teachers can exchange their knowledge of different teaching approaches and methods, and seek peer support for problems they have experienced in the classroom.

The book provides useful timetables, presentations, handouts and activities.
