Centre for Teachers and Teaching Research

Researching how best to prepare teachers as agentive professionals.

Director: Professor Caroline Daly

About us

Aims

We support teachers to become part of an agentive teaching profession, through research and development that is focused on professional learning and practice within their contexts.

Our aims are to enhance the capacities of teachers as expert professionals who can impact on 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 high quality professional learning for teachers through courses, support and resources.

The centre helps 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.
