Dear colleagues,

It has been a while since I logged on to the discussion list, and my reason is the time devoted to the launch of our centenary book and exhibition of archival materials last Friday night.  What a big event celebrating one hundred years!  However, it is good to be in touch again and I have been following your discussions.

I had an opportunity to meet Jean Murray at the international colloquium on practitioner research hosted by Anne Campbell and Susan Groundwater-Smith on 8-10 October.  Subsequently, Jean sent this invitation, and I am keen to get your advice on proceeding.  I talked to Dan in the BERA office, to be advised that we can use the funding allocation for such an event.  What are your thoughts?

Dear Lori,



At the BERA SIG meeting in London in September some members of the Teacher Education and Development SIG expressed an interest in developing work on practitioner research in teacher education.



In the light of this interest, on behalf of the SIG, I wondered if the members of the practitioner research SIG would be interested in joining us for a joint event in early summer 2008 (May or early June)? I think there are many synergies between the work of the two SIGs which we could explore in such an event, drawing together a considerable amount of expertise for a BERA sponsored event (we could perhaps apply to BERA for additional funding).



Please let me know what you / the SIG think about this idea.



Best regards,



Jean
