PERSONALIZED HELP FORTenured Teachersand Guidance CounselorsThe Peer Intervention Program (PIP) helps tenuredteachers and guidance counselors who are experiencingdifficulties in the classroom to raise theirprofessional standards and strengthen their performance.PIP is a joint effort of the United Federation ofTeachers, which conceived and negotiated theprogram, and the Department of Education.Since 1988 it has enabled hundreds of tenuredteachers who were having teaching problemsto upgrade their skills. Teachers who meet thecriteria get help in their own classrooms fromexperienced and specially selected colleaguesfor up to one year.All assistance is given on a voluntary, one-toone,confidential basis. The program is tailoredto the participating teacher’s classroomstrengths and weak nesses. It covers suchareas as classroom management/behavior modi fication, lessonplanning, motivational techniques, questioning skills, time managementand interpersonal relations with staff and students.
