Pedagogy & Practice SIG

This group aims to support practitioners who are interested in pedagogy and how to put this into practice. Unlike our communities, our special interest groups are intended for self-study. They are aimed at those with a responsibility or an interest in this aspect of education. Please look out for one-off events that support this SIG.
