Developing services for the ITT community – to record and share knowledge and effective practices, and provide examples and support – is a fulltime commitment at the TDA.
The Knowledge in ITT team (formerly Effective Practices team) identify effective ITT practices through research, working with providers to build a professional knowledge base for the ITT arena, and ensuring that policy and practice is based on sound evidence. Our aim is to contribute to raising the quality of ITT by ensuring that tutors and trainers are informed by the knowledge and evidence base in order to improve practice.
