T LEVELS
TRIPS REPORTS SUBMITTED: THE FOUR KEY FINDINGS he Teacher Regional Improvement Projects (TRIPs) have submitted their final reports and case studies. TRIPs have been taking place as part of the T Level Professional Development (TLPD) offer from the Education and Training Foundation (ETF).

Peer advisors were appointed to support the projects to develop their understanding of changes and to share ideas, promote discussion and disseminate effective evidence-based practice from the sector that would inform project design and planning.

The willingness and enthusiasm of those involved has resulted in the development of sustainable working relationships that will continue beyond
the life of the projects and could be hugely beneficial to staff, students and the local communities. They also felt that establishing a model of subject-based networks that allowed teachers to share learning experiences, challenges and successful intervention strategies, and ideas and resources was really useful. Relationship and partnership-building enabled action-planning for quality improvement in technical teaching and learning. There was also an added benefit of promoting staff wellbeing. In the south, TRIP participants appreciated hearing about the approaches
