Yes, I often wondered this myself... _______________________________________________________________ Melanie Cooke Researcher Department of Education and Professional Studies King's College, London Franklin Wilkins Building Waterloo Road London SE1 9NH Tel: 020 7848 3122 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/education/staff/mcooke.html ________________________________ From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cheryl Thornett [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 29 October 2008 15:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Developing professional identity and practice I can't help but wonder how many ESOL tutors or lecturers actually attend sessions like this, even at £150 rather than the £195 they often seem to charge. I certainly couldn't afford to pay the fee, miss a day's pay and pay to travel to London. Are there any employers who pay mere teachers to attend these sessions?

The nature of professionalism and professional identity in its current contexts continues to be problematic, contested, and debated. This conference allows us to explore and debate the notion of professionalism, including questions around where, how and whether professionalism exists or is being eroded or developed (or not) for staff and students in the sector. The conference will count towards the 30 hour CPD requirement for all FE staff. It will offer those who are conducting or using research the opportunity to inform others about it. It will help participants engage with research and development in the learning and skills sector and it will disseminate and debate research findings relating to professional identity and practice. Presentations in syndicate groups will focus on: * Engagement with research and development * Working collaboratively to develop professional identity and practice * Building research capacity * Increasing the influence of research findings * Action research and its role in improving practice Audience This event will be of particular interest to researchers and practitioners in: * Adult and Community Learning * Further and Higher Education * Learning and Skills Councils * Lifelong Learning Networks * Prisons and Probation Services * Private Training Providers * Trade Unions * Voluntary and Community Sector * Work-based learning providers.
