Same issue in initial teacher education for learners with English as an Additional Language

Totally agree! Some excellent initial responses from my pilot framework to engage minority parents. Relationships are key!! Education MIE Scott Raymond

What a day! And 2 future UU graduates...thank you Education for the opportunity Stranmillis University College @do

Was a joy to be a guest editor for this issue. Fantastic experience as an ECR myself to gain insight into the peer review process & see how all at the IES really support & advocate for us new to the field

Thanks to the Early Career Researcher award at ESAI conference Stranmillis University College I had the privilege of guest editing & writing an editorial for this edition. Some great pieces from enthusiastic ECRs. Well worth a read
