In parallel a series of seminars will explore the UK statutory education system. Phase 2 In this phase students will split into small groups to research and rehearse short TIE programmes on a given subject for a specific age range. These will then be toured to secondary schools. Following the tour each TIE team will take part in a staff facilitated Self and Peer Assessment and Accreditation process. In this session marks will be negotiated to recognise each individual team member’s contribution to the group process.
