What is the Expansive Education Network?


expansive education is an umbrella term for all teachers, schools, colleges and organisations that are committed to the development of useful, transferable habits of mind throughout mainstream education.

The expansive education NETwork (eedNET) brings together teachers who are committed to expansive education to undertake their own enquiries, share knowledge and take part in professional development.

To join the network go to expansiveeducation website and 'join group'!

Why Join the Expansive Education Network?


eedNET is a membership organisation bringing together teachers, school leaders, universities, researchers and individuals committed to preparing young people to thrive in their future lives.

There are four unique membership benefits:
  1. Learn how to do classroom-based action research from a respected university experienced in working with teachers and in a style to suit you (face to face, train the trainer or distance learning)
  2. Join a secure online professional learning community devoted to expansive education and organise professional development with like-minded colleagues either locally or virtually
  3. Publish your research and upload film of you in action (if you wish!)
  4. Be part of something that really matters.

Action Research Workshops


eedNET membership includes 3 CPD sessions per staff member, which can be taken at a university in our network, or by distance learning. The first introductory workshops, taking place in November, are now available to book. Because this is a charitable enterprise we are able to keep the costs to a minimum with the typical price of a CPD action research session as little as £21 a head

FIRST CPD SESSION AT MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY ON WEDNESDAY 23 NOVEMBER 5PM - 7PM ALLSAINTS CAMPUS
