TEAN Joins the Âé¶¹ÒùÔº

We’re delighted to announce that the Teacher Education Advancement Network (TEAN) is joining the British Educational Research Association. From summer 2025, it will become the Âé¶¹ÒùÔº Teacher Education Advancement Networka move that secures TEAN’s future and allows its important work to grow within Âé¶¹ÒùÔº’s wider community.

TEAN has created a valued and inclusive space that champions teacher education, supports professional development, and connects research with practice. Âé¶¹ÒùÔº recognises the significant contributions TEAN has made, and we are committed to sustaining its distinctive programme. We’re also grateful to the University of Cumbria for its longstanding support and to the TEAN Executive, past and present, whose work has shaped the network. Many of them will continue to guide TEAN’s work under the Âé¶¹ÒùÔº umbrella.

There is strong alignment between TEAN’s mission and Âé¶¹ÒùÔº’s — including a shared commitment to teacher educators, research-informed practice, and representing all UK nations. TEAN’s annual conference will continue under Âé¶¹ÒùÔº, as will its popular webinar series. 

As TEAN transitions into Âé¶¹ÒùÔº, we will be in touch with current contacts to invite them to opt in to stay connected. In the future, those who wish to stay fully involved in and benefit from TEAN’s activities will need to become Âé¶¹ÒùÔº members. Many the network will already be Âé¶¹ÒùÔº members or have come to our conference or wider events already. We will ensure that this will be accessible and beneficial and we’re also taking steps to preserve access to events for non-members and ongoing communications. Âé¶¹ÒùÔº membership will hopefully enhance the experience of being part of TEAN and bring wider opportunities.

This partnership is built on shared values and mutual respect. We’re excited about what lies ahead and warmly welcome TEAN into the Âé¶¹ÒùÔº community.
