The MTL vision - a three way relationship
Teacher
School Higher Education Institution

The MTL vision- schools and HEIs working together in a
wholly collaborative way
At the heart of the MTL is a new and exciting
relationship: one where HEIs and schools work
together as consortia and, from the outset, both
design and deliver the MTL in schools.
Graham Holley- Chief Executive TDA
The MTL level of collaboration involves schools
and HEIs taking on equal and shared responsibility
and accountability for the development, design and
delivery of the MTL.
