Purpose of local network groups
Through supporting members to set up and run local network groups, we aim to:
- Enable SET members to develop and maintain strong local networks.
- Promote and facilitate a positive culture for practitioner-led professional development.
- Stimulate educational research and development activities across a wide range of sectors.
- Provide a forum for practitioners to identify, celebrate and consolidate good practice and member achievements.
- Promote and share activities and achievements with the wider SET community.
- Raise awareness and contribute to the development of SET.
Practitioner research events
SET members are invited to attend upcoming, free events, that support you to meet and share knowledge with practitioner researchers from across the sector. You are encouraged to attend events like these if you are a member who has research to share, if you are conducting your own research and are looking for support, or if you are entirely new to practitioner research and are looking for ways to engage.
- LSRN Network Meeting, Bedford, 9 October: Hear from Jay Derrick from UCL who will be presenting on ‘Tacit pedagogy’ in practice-based learning and innovation in one FE college workplace.
- #FEResearchmeet, Manchester, 29 November: Attendees will hear from two key note speakers and can attend sessions with a series of presenters, all of whom are practitioners, teachers, lecturers or tutors within the post compulsory education and training sector.
- #FEResearchmeet, Newport, 12 December: If you are a practitioner who has been conducting research in the FE/PcET sector, or plan to in the future, then please join us for our first meeting to help grow and connect FE Research across Wales and the borders.
If you are not currently a member of SET, join now to access the full range of member benefits. Joining is easy and only takes a few minutes.
