Students and their parents can be comfortable knowing that the TEEC system will simplify student communication. It will make focusing on the right areas of student answers easier and it will make students think about how they can prove that their answers are correct.
The proof is in the book. Students looked back on their experience with TEEC: In discussion, the students "agreed that TEEC turned out to be a better and easier paragraph with which to work. They stated that the TEEC system helped them to explain ideas in a better fashion; it was easy to follow so that the resulting paragraph turned out right every time, and it looked nicer. They also found that the basic TEEC format was easy to expand upon, using extra explanation and examples." "TEEC It to the Top is a book that provides clarity to an instructional strategy that is precise, intentional and focused. The TEEC paragraph provides precision in pedagogy and a focus using four guiding questions as the structure. The use of the TEEC paragraph process is an opportunity to extend student thinking and enable them to provide responsive answers and think critically. The format and structure provides clarity of strategy and a structure to support student learning. The accompanying parent guide supports parental engagement and involvement in their child’s learning. The TEEC system provides a comprehensive structure and process for literacy success." - Educational Officer “TEEC has helped my students know how to respond so they can focus on the details and not worry about the format to respond in since it stays the same. They use it orally and in writing to prove themselves. It is such a useful tool!" - Grade 3 teacher "A good resource for teachers, parents, tutors and kids.”- retired teacher and tutor "TEEC taught us that it was more about quality than quantity.” - former student |
