Our centre
Director: Professor Caroline Daly
We help prepare the teaching profession to meet the complex challenges that demand highly skilled and deeply knowledgeable teachers. Our work enables teachers to meet the needs of learners today and in the future, in local communities and across global challenges for education systems. Our goal is to enhance the capacities of teachers as expert professionals who can impact inequalities. To achieve this, the centre works in collaboration with teachers and teacher educators through:
- Researching teaching and teacher education that addresses social, economic and environmental inequalities.
- Building capacity for critical research engagement in teacher education.
- Deepening theoretical understanding of teaching and teacher education in complex contexts.
- Providing research-informed policy advice that can help sustain teachers in their profession and as agentive professionals.
