The National Teacher Research Panel

The GTC is a co-sponsor of the National Teacher Research Panel (NTRP). 

This is an independent group of practising teachers who work to:

• ensure that all research in education takes account of the teacher perspective
• ensure a higher profile for research and evidence informed practice in government, academic and practitioner communities
• increase the number of teachers engaged in and with the full spectrum of research activity.

The GTC co-sponsors are the Department for Education and Science (DfES) and the National Council for School Leadership (NCSL).

In March 2006 the NTRP hosted its second national teacher conference:
