Practitioners

Summaries of research for practitioners
The Research Informed Practice Site (TRIPS)
www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/research

The TRIPS site targets practitioners (including teachers, support assistants, governors and parents). It provides short accessible digests of the key findings from recently published research from the learned journals. Each year approximately 20 new digests are completed The site has additional features such as 'my briefcase' that enables registered users to store their favourite digests and send them to a friend.

Research of the Month (RoM)
www.gtce.org.uk/research/romhome.asp

The RoM web site turns large scale research reports inside out to answer
practitioners' questions - rather than telling the 'story' of the project. It illustrates key findings through hot links to summaries of practitioner case studies, thus linking academic research to practitioner enquiry. The site targets teachers with an interest in research and/or in their practice.
