Led by Sian Harris, Global Director at Tes Institute, the inaugural meeting focused on teacher training and CPD needs, drawing on the diverse experience and insights of board members. Commenting on its success, Sian said “it’s fantastic to get such a strong group of leaders together from across the world to share their experiences and help us develop what we do in line with a real variety of challenges and needs in different regions and learning contexts.”
The global advisory board forms part of our mission to work more closely with school communities in order to support and connect teachers worldwide.
