We are very excited to have two world-leading keynote speakers for TEAN Conference 2024. Prof Gert Biesta will challenge teacher educators around ‘Taking Teaching Seriously’, which has implications for research-informed practice, effective educational research, and pushing back on ‘learnification’. Prof Lee Rusznyak will focus on ‘Classroom Conversations’, using Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) to analyse and strengthen teaching observation debrief dialogue between beginning teachers and teacher educators. We have a wide range of high quality presentations with strands of work this year including one on issues related to social justice, including anti-racism in teacher education, and another on analysis of classroom teaching, including the application of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT). We have workshops including Professors Vini Lander and Heather Smith on anti-racism frameworks for teacher education, Dr Yonah Matemba on decolonising the teacher education curriculum and presentation by Dr Khadija Mohammed who has contributed to development of the Scottish anti-racist framework for teacher education. We have the keynote from Lee Rusznyak plus a workshop by Dr Andy Ash, who is a school-based researcher, on analysing classroom teaching using Legitimation Code Theory. If you are a teacher educator and/or a researcher into teacher education, then we hope you will join us in May in Manchester. Details on registration fees are available here. There is a wide range of budget accommodation available within a short walk of the venue hotel.
