10th Annual Teacher Researcher Conference : Teaching : Centre for Teaching and Learning Research (CTLR) : Education : University of Sussex

CTLR hosted the 10th Annual Teacher Researcher Conference on Saturday 12 June 2021.

For the first time, presentations included postgraduate students from our Education MA courses (full and part-time) alongside those of PhD researchers based in the School of Education and Social Work. We also broke new ground in co-hosting the event with the Centre for International Education (CIE).

The Programme

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the event was held online and attracted a highly engaged audience of nearly 40. Proceedings got underway with a keynote presentation delivered by Professor Emerita Judy Sebba of the Rees Centre for Research at the University of Oxford. Judy's talk focused on an evaluation being funded by the Alex Timpson Trust into Attachment and Trauma training in schools across England.

Developing Attachment and Trauma Awareness in UK Schools: JUDY SEBBA

Keynote Presenter: Professor Emerita Judy Sebba

In 2012, Judy set up the Rees Centre for Research at the University of Oxford which focuses on the education and social care of children in care and children in need. Prior to this, Judy was a Professor of Education at the University of Sussex. Judy's previous research includes the Nuffield Foundation-funded Educational progress of children in care and a large-scale randomised control trial of paired reading with foster carers (in collaboration with Queens University, Belfast). Funded by the Alex Timpson Trust, the Centre is also evaluating Attachment and Trauma training in schools across England. Judy was awarded an OBE in 2018.

Presentations

Following the keynote presentation, we broke into five smaller themed groups, enabling our MA practitioner-researchers and doctoral researchers to share their research-in-progress. The event ended with a plenary session that enabled us to reflect on the value, richness and diversity of the presentations shared and to reaffirm our collective commitment to better understanding the important work that teachers do.
