AnonyMouse_79 Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Congratulations, Sara, I'm sure you will have a fantastic time. There is at least one other person out there somewhere who has done this, maybe more, so hopefully they will be along soon!!! Quote
AnonyMouse_2760 Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Congratulations, how exciting. I did a TIPD last Easter and went to Mississippi had a fab time. Sure you will end up going somewhere fantastic. What is it you are going to look at - we did creativity (sometimes a bit of a clue as to where you are going) Keep us informed. Mx p.s I took Callum the travelling Ted with me for the company. He had a great time. Ooh Make sure you have at least six months on your passport from your travelling date.

Guest Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Wow - lucky you. What a fantastic opportunity - hope you have a great time and pick up loads of ideas. Keep us informed. Harricroft Quote
Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Our head teacher and 2 TAs will be arriving back in England from India some time tonight. As a school we are going to plan our topic for next term around India with hopefully a wealth of resources brought back by these intrepid explorers! My fear of flying so far prevents me from signing up for this - I am willing however to spend some time in Cornwall but not sure whether it has ever been on the list of places. I do know that the trips are usually during half term and at no time are they to be described as a holiday - unless you want your head bitten off by the people willing to give up their own time!

AnonyMouse_2157 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 thanks for enlightening me Sara... cant wait to hear where you are going! How do you go about getting on a tipd? Quote
Guest Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 the tipd allocate a certain number of places to each LEA - schools are then advised of this and sent application forms for teachers to apply - criteria being you must be a full time teacher and have at least two years experience - they do have a website which may have more info? http://www.britishcouncil.org/learning-tipd.htm Quote
