TFT-Network Teacher Participatory Action Research (TPAR) Mentoring Scheme-2023
Are you interested in mentoring teachers and in designing and carrying out participatory action research?
Teachers for Teachers Network (TFT-Network) is a voluntary teacher support group. As an open space for teachers’ professional development, the network supports teachers through mentoring, research, workshops and exchanges of ideas and stories. We collaborate with teachers and schools for changes in pedagogies, materials, knowledge, attitudes, and policies to create an equitable, inclusive, and quality learning space within and beyond the classroom.
Purpose
The main purpose of TfT Network is to create a collaborative space for teacher researchers, teacher educators, and teachers, particularly from the Global South, to promote evidence-/research-based, participatory, context-specific, and transformative pedagogies, ideologies, and epistemologies that recognize the identities, skills, and ways of learning of the students from diverse linguistic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
TFT Network aims at empowering teachers by engaging them in exploring and addressing their own classroom problems.
