The Measureable Outcomes of Project TRiPS • Examples of a specific student’s goals are as follows: • Child #1: The goals set for this child were to participate in group activities by sitting at the table with the group and not leaving; to improve balance; increase fine motor skills; and engage with others. • Examples of selected student’s performance (based on the final evaluations): • Child #1: “Child #1 has improved in the following areas: problem solving, play behavior, and people skills. He will show signs of joy at times as evidence by smiling or laughing during certain activities. Child #1 is more willing to participate in activities as being less resistant to physical prompting and facial cues. He had also developed an interacting play behavior that involves one other person. “This is a huge step for Child #1!” reports the teacher.

The Impact of Project TRiPS • Students Perspectives: • Awareness of individuals with disabilities • Increased documentation skills • Hands on learning skills • Ability to learn from ones mistakes • Being apart of and noting changes in youth • *Some have even changed their major to • Therapeutic Recreation
The Impact of Project TRiPS • CDC Teachers’ Perspectives: • “I am truly amazed by the effectiveness of this program! Each TRiPS participant had been so positive, enthusiastic and performed at a professional level. I feel so pleased that they are working with my students.”
The Impact of Project TRiPS • CDC Teachers’ Perspectives: • Our class has several students with brain trauma or orthopedic impairments. The combination of fine-motor – gross motor activities, that were planned, improved [Jasmine’s] handwriting as well as meeting her social/emotional goal of speaking more loudly to people outside of the classroom. We have [four] children with autism whose needs for routine and consistency were met with intentional re-direction, frequent reminders and visual cues. The mentors were very intuitive about adjusting to the needs and emotions of each child. They will be amazing professionals!
The Impact of Project TRiPS • CDC Teachers’ Perspectives: • “this has been a great experience for my students. The activities and lessons were very appropriate for my students. All of the TRiPS members appeared to be engaged with every student. Life skills were addressed at every meeting. My students really benefit from interacting with TRiPS positive role model.”
Benefits of University-School Partnerships • “Collaboration is a planning approach where two or more parties form a relationship for the purpose of gathering resources to implement a program, activity, or action plan” (Wiewel & Lieber, 1998). • “Meaningful collaboration happens when people labor together to achieve more than a single entity could accomplish separately” (Checkoway, 2004). • “If universities can partner with schools and community organizations to solve community problems, ‘university-school partnerships are justified” (LeGates and Robinson, 1998, p.235). • (as cited in Waller et al., in review)
Benefits of University-School Partnerships • For the community: • - Generate needed consultation • - Technical assistance • - Provide student assistance • - Faculty expertise • - Establish a strong link with the university • (Waller et al., in review)
Benefits of University-School Partnerships • For the university: • - Partnerships bring new viewpoints • - Contribute to quality research and learning • - Engage students • - Empower faculty • - Enable the university to support student • learning and scholarly engagement • (Checkoway, 2004) • (as cited in Waller et al., in review)
Conclusion • Project TRiPS provides a unique opportunity to answer the call of research, teaching, and service in an innovative way. • Project TRiPS fosters a positive university-community partnership that is mutually beneficial. • Also, TRiPS enables a practical partnership that UT students benefit from.
