Teacher Expectations and Student Achievement is a staff development program that helps close the achievement gap for all students. TESA provides educators with tools to reach this goal and help all children succeed in school.
TESA is designed to modify the way teachers interact with students through heightened awareness of how perceptions affect their expectations. Studies show that using TESA interactions enhances student academic performance and gender and diversity awareness. It also improves attendance and classroom climate, and reduces student discipline problems.
Objectives
By the end of the training participants will be able to:
- Communicate their understanding of the function and delivery of the TESA program.
- Identify components of effective instruction.
- Be knowledgeable to deliver the TESA Program to other educators.
