CRPTE Monthly Online Reading Group: Collaborative Exploration in Teacher Education
Are you passionate about teacher education? Are you interested in deepening your knowledge within a community of likeminded peers? The CRPTE Centre is calling on community members who are eager to dive deep into research and practice to join our Monthly Online Reading Group! Each month, we’ll explore a new theme, driven by participant interests and ideas, and share relevant articles to spark discussions.
This is not your average reading group! It’s an interactive, participant-led space where you have the chance to shape the themes, conversations, and connect on topics of interest. Plus, if you have a passion or expertise in a specific area, we invite you to lead a session and share your knowledge with the group.
Ready to be a part of this exciting collaboration? Sign up here and let’s start exploring together!
