Welcome to our June newsletter

Dear Phil,

As teacher educators, we see a wide variety of teaching styles, content and contexts.  

We also see a lot of different types of teachers. Language teachers, subject teachers, specialist teachers and many more in many different contexts. How do we share and learn from each other? This is the focus of our webinar this month that looks at how language and subject teachers can work together to support multilingual learners. Find out more and register below.  

To help you get ready for the webinar, we’ve included some more information about how to improve science learning for learners moving from local languages to English as the medium of instruction.  

For those with just a little time to spare, have a look at our Quick read, a lesson plan framework for subject teachers.  

For those with a little extra time, catch up on our May webinar, which looked at an alternative approach to teacher observation.  

And for a longer read, we’ve included a link to our CPD framework, which guides you through all aspects of teacher educator professional development. Take your time to dip in and out of these resources as you move through June.

And finally, don’t forget to join our Teacher Educator Facebook community and share your insights with our global community.
