Network
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.
It provides a supportive environment for teachers to develop research leadership skills and build connections across all career stages. Through the BERA Teacher Network, members can share ideas, resources, and best practices, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or new to the field, the BERA Teacher Network offers a valuable opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals and advance your knowledge and skills.
The BERA Teacher Network will run an annual teacher network conference, as well as other events and awards throughout the year.
