What Are We?

TEE aims to offer Theological Education by Extension and not simply by correspondence.  TEE College is present and active whenever and wherever students meet to study together.  There is a network of Regional Co-Ordinators, Markers and Tutors throughout Southern Africa whose sole aim is to maximise opportunities for students to make the most of their studies.  Student Support Services exists to work with the existing academic, administrative and tutorial staff to improve this network of communication.

Some students still find themselves quite isolated.  Others find themselves facing difficulties of various kinds : educational, personal, spiritual, family.  We would like to find ways of giving students the kind of support they would receive in a residential College at these difficult times.  Please contact the Student Support Services Department.  As a College we care about our students - we are here to listen and to help if we possibly can.
 

How Can We Help?

STUDENT HELP LINE 

Please get in touch with your Marker and/or Regional Co-ordinator if you want help with :

1.  Your Studies

2.  Personal Difficulties, practical or spiritual, which may be affecting your studies.
 

TUTOR DEVELOPMENT 

Tutors play a vital role in bringing students together, in helping them get to grips with their courses and in helping them to learn from one another.  Student Support Services exist to :

1.  Recruit suitable tutors and encourage the formation and development of tutorial groups

2.  Equip tutors to be better able to help the students

3.  Provide ongoing in-service training
 

LIAISON WITH THE REGIONAL CENTRES 

Regional Centres are an important extension of the College ensuring that students are supported and are in touch with one another.  Student Support Services aim to :

1.  Set up more Regional Centres

2.  Ensure that Regional Co-Ordinators receive all tutorial correspondence relating to their  students

3.  Organise Regional visits in co-operation with Regional Co-Ordinators

4.  Strengthen communication and networking between College and Regions 

OUTCOMES BASED EDUCATION

The courses offered by TEE College need to be in line with the Government's guidelines for Outcomes Based Education.

Student Support Services aims to : 

Work with Students, Markers, Tutors, Regional and Subject Co-Ordinators, to ensure that the courses offered conform at every stage with the principals of OBE.  This is a long term strategy which seeks to ensure that the courses are written, revised and marked with the in mind, so that in addition to the aquisition of head knowledge, students are equipped with the attitudes, values and skills needed to apply that knowledge in the everyday situations in which they live and minister.  The focus changes from the teacher to the and from the knowledge of content to skill in using and applying that knowledge.
