May 11^th and 12^th 2017, Conference Aston, Birmingham

The TEAN conference, held over two days, offers an opportunity for colleagues to spend time together to share great practice and ideas. In a supportive and welcoming atmosphere you will be able to share ideas on professional learning with an appreciative audience who will both encourage and challenge you.

The title is inspired by last year’s conference feedback. ‘Thinking Deeply about Teacher Education’: this suggests a firm acknowledgement of the complexity of teacher education and the depth of skill needed to be a truly effective teacher educator. Is it a skill? Does it involve craft? What is craft? Does it involve theory? What do we mean by theory? Does it involve research? Why should it? Does it involve pedagogy? – that is to say, does it claim a pedagogy/should it claim a pedagogy? Why should we bother to think deeply about it? How would you define deeply’?
