“…Quality circles (Karp, 1983) are used in industry and have been developed in professional educational psychology (Fox et al, 1990). In the area of mental health consultation, the work of Caplan (1970) has been influential and has been extensively applied, adapted and even mandated in some states of the US (Ritter, 1978;Chalfant & Pysh, 1989;Graden et al, 1985 a, b).…”

This paper reports on part of an evaluation of teacher support teams (TSTs) as a special education needs (SEN) support strategy in primary schools. Using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods, it focuses on areas derived from a theoretical framework for understanding schools' approaches to SENs. TSTs were set up and run in six of the eight schools, with meetings of between 30 and 45 minutes, usually during lunchtime or after school. Most of the referrals were about behaviour problems, though many were about learning difficulties. The support included providing emotional encouragement, specific approaches to managing behaviour, teaching strategies and consulting others. Referring teachers reported that their TST experience led to increased confidence and some improvements in the children, while TST members themselves believed that they had gained much from the TST experience. Overall the study showed the feasibility and benefits of setting up TSTs in primary schools. The findings are discussed in terms of the wider benefits of TSTs and their relevance to special needs policies and the implementation of the SENs code of practice.

“…Peer support teams have been discussed in a variety of professional contexts outside school teaching. Quality circles are used in industry and have been developed in professional educational psychology (Fox, Pratt and Roberts 1990). Caplan (1970) developed similar models in the area of mental health consultation and these have been extensively applied and even mandated in some states of the USA (Chalfant and Pysh 1989, Graden, Casey and Christenson 1985a, 1985b, Ritter 1978.…”

This article deals with an evaluation of some teacher support teams (TSTs) and the way they can be utilised in response to current pressures and demands. TSTs take as their focus the teacher and not the child. Through self‐supportive networks teachers can gain greater understanding of classroom problems and increase their competence in dealing with them. Harry Daniels and his colleagues have developed this technique in a number of London schools and report on its effectiveness.
