What is TIPD?

______________________________________________

1. What is TIPD?

  • The Teachers' International Professional Development (TIPD) programme enables teachers from England to experience good educational practice in different countries around the world.
  • The programme is funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the Department for International Development (DFID).
  • The programme provides opportunities for teachers in England to develop their teaching skills, by experiencing best practice in a number of key themes through short-term international study visits. Such visits also aim to create valuable international links between schools, facilitating international school partnerships and sharing information on a global level.

2. School-Determined Programmes

The school-determined element of TIPD is aimed at schools that already have an existing link with a school overseas, and wish to develop the partnership further through a study visit. It is administered exclusively by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, on behalf of the Department for Education & Skills and it is different from the Study Visit programme in that it is run independently of Local Authorities (LAs).

While we would envisage working closely with LAs in the promotion of the programme, there is no set entitlement of places according to authority, and schools can apply independently if they wish to do so. However we would encourage all interested schools to share their proposals with their nominated LA TIPD co-ordinator where possible.

More comprehensive details about the programme can be found by clicking on the corresponding link School-Determined Programme . A copy of the prospectus is also available for you to download, together with copies of the official application forms.
