ITT professional resource networks (IPRNs) are expert groups which develop ITT practice by:
- reviewing the knowledge base
- identifying and developing effective practices, and
- providing relevant support and examples.
TDA-supported IPRNs
Behaviour4Learning
Behaviour4Learning focuses on developing trainee skills and insights, which foster a classroom ethos of ‘behaviour for learning’. The website offers initial teacher trainers and trainees a range of materials on classroom management and behaviour for learning, including:
- practice-related research
- examples of effective training practices
- new initiatives, including internationally-developed examples
- a glossary of behaviour-related topics, and
- links to Teachers TV clips.
Visit the Behaviour4Learning website.
Multiverse
Multiverse provides initial teacher trainers and trainees with a comprehensive range of resources focusing on the educational achievement of pupils from diverse backgrounds. It has been developed in response to the surveys which show that a significant number of NQTs still need support in teaching pupils with English as an additional language. The website is organised in six strands:
- race and ethnicity
- social class
- religious diversity
- bilingual and multilingual learners
- refugees and asylum seekers, and
- travellers and Roma.
The resources range from ITT learning and teaching materials, research papers, government reports, articles from the media, case studies, and video clips.
