Teacher Interview Protocol (TIP)

 

Teacher Interview Protocol (TIP) is an 11-question, research-based interview protocol using the objectives and descriptors of the Teacher Observation Form-Revised (TOF-R) developed at Purdue University. It was used to make hiring decisions for teachers in different PreK-12 gifted enrichment programs. Hiring decisions were based on TIP scores, with a mean score of 3.5 or greater out of 5.0 resulting in an employment offer. Detailed instructions for using TIP can be found in the protocol.
