The Project
The Teacher Training Agency National Partnership Project 'Promoting good practice in partnerships through ICT' is being developed to meet two of the TTA regional objectives:
- To expand collaboration so as to raise the ITT profile of the ethnic minorities in the region
- To improve the quality of ITT liaison work between primary and secondary schools in the region.
The key national objectives the project is relating to are:
- To strengthen existing partnerships by improving the quality of school based tutor training and CPD of staff
- To broaden and enrich ITT by pairing schools or groups of schools in contrasting school environments.
