MAKING CONNECTIONS
The Centre for Teaching and Learning Research (CTLR) is engaged with education in all its pedagogical and social complexity. The interests of members span local, national and international contexts and a range of formal and informal settings, running from Early Years to Higher Education and including Initial Teacher Education. Consistent with this, we aim to foster the development of more holistic, contextualised and systemic understandings of education in all its many forms.
The Centre's strapline is Making Connections, reflecting its focus on bringing research, theory, policy and practice together with a view to promoting positive change. Each year we host an Annual Change Event that brings researchers, students and stakeholders together to promote understanding of how more equitable and inclusive approaches to teaching and learning might be achieved. We are also actively engaged in the development of locally-based practitioner researchers, hosting two conferences.
Upcoming Event
Teen Reads Book Group
The Teen Reads Book Group meets six times a year, mostly via Zoom, on a Tuesday evening. We discuss 3-4 YA books every meeting, following the UKLA longlist. We will discuss the first three books then and talk about promoting reading for pleasure more generally.
You do not need to have read all the books to be able to attend. The meetings are very informal, enjoyable and last about one hour: they are also a chance to share general ideas about how to encourage young people to read for pleasure!
Email Lucy Bruen (Lucy.Bruen@sussex.ac.uk) to confirm your attendance.
