Standards : Partnership

This section of the website explores the principles and practices of partnership between primary and secondary schools and higher education (HEIs) in initial teacher education (ITE) in the context of design and technology (D&T). A main focus will be the role of the D&T subject mentor.

These materials on Partnership have been developed by Marion Rutland of Roehampton University.

The material falls into 5  sections:

Part 1: Background and Recent Developments 
Part 2: Partnership arrangements  
Part 3: Quality assurance and control procedures 
Part 4: Roles and responsibilities of the design and technology (D&T) mentor/tutor 
Part 5: Conclusions and References
