BALEAP TEAP Associate Fellow

Recognition of your expertise:

The TEAP Scheme is an individual accreditation scheme that encourages and recognises the continuing professional development of individual BALEAP members.

Why do participants in the scheme recommend it?

‘I’ve found the Scheme really motivating and inspirational and a great way to engage in professional development which informs my own practice and raises my awareness and understanding of professional standards. The process has been reassuring, rewarding and confidence-building as I evidence my practice and check off criteria that I have met already’

Emma Stringer, Associate Fellow

‘By giving me impetus and direction, the BALEAP TEAP Scheme is inspiring me to find my place in this discourse community. It’s hard work, but worth it, not so much for the accreditation (though that is a bonus) but for what you discover about yourself and your practice along the way’

Aleks Palanac, Associate Fellow

‘ I learned a lot about my own teaching practices through doing it… I would certainly recommend the Scheme’

Gerry McLellan, Associate Fellow
