BERA Teacher Network – Coffee Hour

The BERA Teacher Network’s coffee hour will give you the opportunity to find out more about the Teacher Network and its activities as well as get to know a little more about the team behind it.

The BERA Teacher Network is an inclusive community of educators from early years, primary, and secondary schools and further, adult and vocational education in the UK. The network serves as a platform to facilitate collaboration and communication among members, enabling them to access and engage with research more effectively.

This BERA Teacher Network’s coffee hour will give you the opportunity to find out more about the Teacher Network and its activities as well as get to know a little more about the team behind it.

There are opportunities ask any questions you might have had about upcoming activities and to share your thoughts on all things Teacher-related within BERA and beyond.
