Take a tour of the ATE Evidence to Excellence Process

The Schools Around the World program has evolved into a comprehensive professional development program for teachers in several of the participating countries. In some of the participating countries, schools and teachers participate in a variety of experiences that can lead to a sustained program of growth for practicing teachers.

Some of these occur over the course of several years while others are briefer, one semester programs. Some of these experiences are gained through workshops held at the district level while others are conducted through online seminars using web-based communication tools; most teachers use both forms. Regardless of the format or the duration, they all share a common four-step process that forms the basis of these experiences. We call this process Evidence to Excellence.
