Global Teacher Education Consortium

The Global Teacher Education Consortium (GTEC) is designing a global research agenda to investigate the impact of teacher education policies in 16 countries.

A group of leading teacher education researchers from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, Finland, Hong Kong SAR, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, the USA and Wales formed the Global Teacher Education Consortium (GTEC) in September 2019. GTEC is establishing an ambitious and long-term research agenda across these countries to investigate the impact of recent teacher education policies and practices on: teachers and teaching; teacher educators; pupils and their learning; schools and their communities; and, education systems as a whole.
