How can we as teacher developers, influence practice and policy?
Friday June 27, 2025 15:00 - 15:45 BST
Leathersellers Hide (Learning Hub top floor)
In this session we bring together the themes of the conference: influencing policy and practice and engaging with research. We will share real-world examples from the work of ASE and other associations to illustrate how we as teacher developers can:
  • support practitioners to apply research in their practice
  • support practitioners to engage with research in their practice
  • influence national, regional and school/Trust policy
Conference participants will be invited to share their own examples, so that together we learn from each other's experience.
