"After a successful Comenius project featuring the UK and Denmark finished, we launched a second bid with Erasmus and included a third country, Finland. The idea of 3T was to look simultaneously with Danes, Finns and British teachers at each others systems, considering the areas of ""Time, talent and technology"" which is a quote taken from Finnish educationalist Pasi Sahlberg. The original bid said ""How do we use time efficiently and to maximise the pupil experience in our schools? The idea of 3 systems going through change and shaping that change and finally having productive and proactive people involved in the project who can disseminate outwards both locally and nationally to maximise the impact of the findings"" The real crux of the objective was to consider our own practice whilst looking at the other systems, and to make meaningful change back in your home country. There are 11 partner schools, 4 in the UK (two primary, two secondary) 3 Danish schools, (two through schools and a teaching school) and 4 Finnish schools (A University education department, and 3 through schools one of which was partly selective) most staff were involved in management, lots of Deputy or Assistant heads, but also a few class teachers and some heads. The main 6 exchanges took part from June 2017 to October/November 2018, with two countries simultaneously visiting the other and feeding back and presenting on their findings. This process repeated in year two with quite a lot of new participants. In between there were trans national meetings where lead schools met, reviewed and planned the next steps. The results are wide ranging, and reflect some hugely influential changes across many schools. We measured the impact via questionnaires taken after each leg, the analysis of which is up on the results platform, many if not all of the presentations are also up to see and view by Danish, Finnish and UK participants on each final day, reports were written on schools throughout the first year which are also on the results platform, there's a thesis of around six and a half thousand words written by Peter Thornes that was on the platform in May, there's the 500 word document that was put together in Year 2 of participants transferable practice that they've trialled and the journey they've been on. This was widely shared on websites, via presentation and has also been added to the results platform, hard copies were also sent out to each country to circulate and all of the heads in Bedford Borough were given a hard copy after its presentation in the Spring. As well these there have been numerous opportunities to share the innovative practice via presentations locally, the sharing of videos taken from presentations, a live broadcast at the Finnish closing debate, the Twitter site and various websites including Innokas (The university of Helsinki's site) and The BBLE/AEFP (Bedford Heads group and the University of Bedfordshire's fellowship programme) To be honest many projects are still running, and partnerships and ideas never mentioned in the original bid that are self funded including pupil exchange programmes (where Danish and UK pupils actually experience a school day like their exchange partners), a problem solving partnership between Finnish and UK pupils and a huge exchange of teaching practice shared between professionals from all three countries. The longer term benefits are having critical friends from other cultures, a wide web of influences and people who are around at the tap of a button to compare and collaborate with. The BERA conference at the University of Bedfordshire is going to see a 3T presentation in September and the University of Helsinki and Bedfordshire are going to write a study of the work this year, although this might not be finished in time, I'm happy to upload it following the end of the project. You can see the changes in UK schools where they are trialling ideas like breaks between lessons (FInland) and ""no teacher days"" (Denmark), there's now Danish schools who are doing morning briefings (UK) and displaying their school values in their reception (UK), there's FInnish schools doing ""Positive phone calls home"" (UK) and the UK trying more informal ways of delivering lessons (Finland). The changes are continuing and I'll try to capture as much as I can on the two sites, and continue to spread the word via websites, social media and presentations."
