Recently re-launched for the 2008/09 academic year, the TTRB is undertaking a series of workshops to promote the use of the Teacher Training Resource Bank (TTRB) across the country. The second of these events was at the Walsall Campus of the University of Wolverhampton on 4th November, with delegates from local HEI and school based providers.
A range of presentations was delivered throughout the day, including a keynote input from Professor Kit Field, Dean of the School of Education, entitled Seizing the initiative of the MTL. The Masters in Teaching and Learning (MTL) is a new initiative that is intended to develop the teaching profession into a masters level profession. This presentation considers the implications of the MTL and other forms of accreditition at Masters level for teacher educators, teachers and other stakeholders. The presentation slides and an audio recording from this are available below.
The workshop also had briefings on the technical and content enhancements of the TTRB, as well as workshops on the TTRB's links with the subject associations and opportunities for supported hands on sessions to explore the new facilities on the TTRB. In the afternoon, there were sessions on making the best use of the TTRB on programmes of Initial Teacher Education and Training and how to become a reviewer for the TTRB.
These presentations will be made available in due course to delegates, as well as the wider TRRB audience but you can view Professor Field's slide show below and listen to the accompanying podcast.
