IPDA England Workshop: Stories of student-teachers about learning in two contexts: What professional learning is in it for teacher educators?

On 7t November 2023 IPDA England held this workshop with Dr Liz White and Dr Miranda Timmermans.

Our international collaborative research project explored the experiences of student-teachers in school-university partnerships in the Netherlands and England, focussing on dilemmas in their own learning in school or university, exploring where they encountered problems and how they resolved them and what/who supported them in this. The aim was to develop a deeper understanding of the qualities required of teacher educators within school-university partnerships. The findings have been used to develop narratives for the professional learning and development of teacher educators, and for those involved in developing partnerships, thus increasing student-teachers’ voice in partnerships. These resources will be part of the workshop and will be freely available for participants.
