Heard a term used by uni lecturers and teachers recently for teaching or learning underlying things.
Such as learning a particular piece and you are learning other things at the same time but not aware of it.
Can't remember the term but it was something like trivit or the like?
If someone knows it, I would appreciate it. 
youre one of the good ones kopes!- yep, that Q could have been a curly one..
(as my father would have said- a man of his word, indeed)
happy days 
The Techniques of Responsive Intervention to Validate Effective Teaching (TRIVET) program is a year-long staff development training program involving principals and lead teachers in a collaborative effort to improve classroom instruction.
The program provides an opportunity to develop the competencies necessary to effectively appraise classroom teaching and prescribe strategies for improvement.
Since the goal of teacher appraisal is the improvement of instruction, this program offers a process which allows administrators to impact what happens in classrooms.
Retraining administrators and lead teachers entails the use of a systematic research-based approach to classroom appraisal and lesson analysis.
The training approach includes: (1) a preservice observation conference; (2) script-taping; (3) a post-observation conference; and (4) an action plan.
Through appropriate diagnosis and development of prescriptions for improvement, the administrator demonstrates a knowledge of good instruction.
The overall implication is that by offering suggestions for improved classroom instruction, the principal can facilitate increased teacher effectiveness and the achievement of students can be enhanced.
No, the subject was brought up by one of my protege currently in uni.
So more of a The grasshopper becoming the teacher and I felt a need to learn what the so called new found knowledge is about.
To me, it appears common sense, something I would have thought in place already.
And possibly it has been, yet now it is being formalised and given terminology.
I feel it is something many prior admirable teaching administrators effectively used without recognition and now it is coming to light.
Giving us more realization of how much our forefathers did to ensure a better future. 
Marina and Poddy, my initial description of what I was looking for was somewhat vague on my part.
But the term is T.R.I.V.E.T. I was looking for.
Based on my description, you have both come up with a very good answer and subliminal messages is another very interesting subject on it's own.
Apparently whilst sitting in a cinema watching a movie, a film frame would appear just before intermission picturing an ice cream.
Being only a single frame it was never enough for the eye or concious brain to register but enough for the subconcious to bring forth a feeling for an ice cream. The famous subliminal analogies were born.
