Teacher education

Re-empowering a profession is as much about teacher education and development as it is about school leadership, and many teacher educators have told us that they have found the past decade's centralised and prescriptive policies deeply debilitating. They – and the CPR – have also argued that they have been forced by the pressure of official requirements to omit matters of vital importance to professional thinking and development from their courses. So the network is about the reform of initial teacher training and CPD, and it is for teacher education providers as much as teachers, especially as we want to strengthen the link between research and produce in order that both teaching and education policy should become more genuinely 'evidence-informed.'

If you want to join the network and the debate about the reform of teacher education and/or CPD, contact Alison Peacock.

If your institution wishes to book a speaker from the CPR team, please contact Robin Alexander or Julia Flutter.
