Improving Teaching – Enhancing Learning - Connecting evidence, practice and policy
National Teacher Research Panel
This free conference is part of a two day event. On Monday 24 November the focus will be on teaching and learning in Schools, 14-19 and Further Education.
Delegates will be able to participate in interactive workshops led by practitioner researchers, exhibitions, discussions in the research café and a zone where you can experiment with a wide array of research based tools, protocols and activities designed to enhance your own, your colleagues and your students’ learning.
Although this is a two day event, most delegates will attend on the single day which is most appropriate to their work.
Admission to the conference is free but will be by invitation only. The NTRP is now inviting potential delegates to register their interest before the end of the summer term. If you would like to attend, please visit the TLRP 2008 conference website.

Children take charge to Change the World
The 'We Are What We Do' movement is asking every child and young person across the country: 'What simple action would you ask one million people to do to change the world?'
Their campaign is designed to show the idea of 'small actions x lots of people = big change' and they are seeking to get one million people to take part in 2008.
The best ideas will be showcased in the next 'Change the World' publication which will be made available free to 24 000 schools in the UK. To register and find out more information, visit the Small Action Big Change website.
Are you looking to teach in a multinational, multilingual, multicultural school in a European setting? Do you have UK qualified teacher status (QTS), ideally several years’ teaching experience and a basic knowledge of another EU language?
If so, the European Schools might be for you. Schools are located in Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK and exist primarily to provide a free mother-tongue education for the children of employees of EU institutions. Our aim is to build a teaching workforce, within the European Schools, that is more ethnically diverse and representative of British society today.
For further information visit Schola Europaea or contact Jennifer Waterhouse at DfES on 020 7340 4385 or jennifer.waterhouse@dfes.gsi.gov.uk.
