Theme: Teacher Education and EAL
Convenor/s: Fazana Farook
This meeting launches the new ITE Teacher Educator SIG which aims to create a network of teacher educators who work within university and school-based ITE provision.
Within the context of this SIG, “teacher educator” refers to colleagues working directly with student teachers who are undertaking a teacher training programme in order to achieve a nationally-recognised teaching qualification. Teacher educators might work with student teachers at higher education institutions and/or directly within school settings. Our first SIG meeting will focus on key policy changes within a UK context, however future sessions will broaden out to include international perspectives (agendas will be published in advance on the NALDIC website). All interested colleagues are welcome to join and attend the Initial Teacher Education SIG, and we hope this additional information and agenda will provide attendees with further insight into the focus of the SIG meeting on Monday 24th June 2024.
