This takes place on 26th April in London hosted by UCL Institute of Education. This conference is an opportunity to discuss principles and share practice in an area of teacher education that may be neglected, given the usual focus on reaching the standards in KS3/4. We hope it will be of interest to teacher educators, researchers and mentors in all training routes. Jennie Golding, Nicola Bretscher and I from UCL IOE will present our recent work on developing pedagogic key messages for A-level teaching and comparing online and face-to-face modes of early career teacher education. The day will include discussion of different approaches to teacher preparation for post-16, and we are keen for varied contributions from others. If you'd like to find out more and share your own expertise/research in this area, there is full information on the attached flier for the day conference + details of how to register.
