ASPE/BERA Special Interest Group on Primary School Teachers' Work

Description

This Special Interest Group (SIG), which was set up in 2003, arose from co-operation between the British Educational Research Association (BERA) and ASPE, which is an associated society of BERA. The SIG provides additional opportunities for the members of both associations to liaise and to work together on shared areas of interest and research issues. It addresses the range of roles, responsibilities and practices that make up the work of primary school teachers. Its purpose is to provide a forum to bring together researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in innovation and change in diverse areas of primary education, such as teacher professionalism, school management, staff relationships, teachers’ subject knowledge and classroom practice, all of which individually and in combination exert a fundamental impact on teachers’ work. The SIG pays particular attention to the work and perspectives of teachers in Key Stage 2 as they appear under represented in associations and interest groups.
