This presentation takes us through triads and how they relate to the PDF, along with showcasing some basic concepts and tools needed to make it a success.

1. Triads
Where We Could Go &
Explorations

2. Triads
• L2L Project envisaged learning &
development being supported in

The framework for professional development aims to:

disciplines for relevance and authenticity and enable
learning from other disciplines

evidence-based enhancement and transformation of
their teaching and learning approaches

6. Triads & PD
• ‘I’ engage with the PDF
• ‘I’ talk in my Triad about that & agree
what it might look like at the end
• I ask for ‘feedback’, ‘support’, ‘advice’
etc. I decide what to do with that
• I engage with whatever aspect of the
PDF I am working on
• I share/update the Triad about that
regularly.
• When I am ready/finished with that I
tell Triad, share the impacts &
outcomes
