In-Person Event Invitation - Mentoring Beginning Teachers – A Conversation for ChangeWednesday 14 May 2025, Edinburgh Futures Institute, University of Edinburgh
This invitation is for you personally from the co-leads of workstream 3 of the Strategic Board for Teacher Education (SBTE) given your experience, expertise and/or strategic role.
Workstream 3 has been developing a new framework for career-long teacher education and development. As part of this work this event aims to instigate action that leads to lasting positive change in the way new teachers are supported.
This event will take place in person at Edinburgh Futures Institute, Room 2.55, University of Edinburgh, 1 Lauriston Place, EH3 9EF between 10am and 12.30pm on Wednesday 14 May 2025. Coffee is available from 09:45am and directions to the venue can be found here: https://www.ed.ac.uk/maps/maps?building=0450
Taking a ‘summit’ type approach, this event will require active participation from invitees.
While some brief inputs will be provided, alongside an exploration of what we do now that works well in supporting beginning teachers, the main aim of the event is to inform, in collaboration, a plan for improving how we welcome new teachers to the profession. Our expectation is that our time together leads to personal and collective action.
This is an important early step in reimagining teacher education. Attached to this invitation is further information about the work completed to date. The executive summary sets out at a high level our vision for future teacher education and development in Scotland.
