Read the April CeDARE Newsletter
Welcome to this edition of the CeDARE newsletter that aims to share in the work that we do. May we remind schools, colleges and settings across the West Midlands that we are keen to showcase any research that you may be undertaking. We at CeDARE want to provide a place and a space for holding and disseminating cutting edge research and accounts of new practices.
We would also like to remind you of our forthcoming research conference which traditionally has focused on staff and students at School for Education Futures (SEF) but we would welcome submissions for presentations from local practitioners. If you would like promote/share your work or find out more about the research conference then please see below for more information.
Happy Easter to you all!
