Research and ‘CPD 2.0’
What is ‘CPD 2.0’? CPD 2.0 is the next generation of professional development for teachers. Using technology and social media, teachers are able to communicate with each other and educational researchers in a way that allows teachers to direct their own development and engage with educational research.

TeachMeets
TeachMeets (informal conferences organised by teachers, for teachers) have become an incredibly popular way to share good practice and ideas.
researchEd
researchEd aims to enable a forum for researchers and teachers to come together to discuss ‘what works’ in education.
researchEd ‘is a grass-roots, teacher-led organisation aimed at improving research literacy in the educational communities, dismantling myths in education, getting the best research where it is needed most, and providing a platform for educators, academics, and all other parties to meet and discuss what does and doesn't work in the great project of raising our children.’
