LEARNING CIRCLE
The CREC learning circle is a ‘community of practice’ (Wenger 2002).
Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do, and learn how to do it better by interacting regularly.
Over recent years CREC's Directors have supported many students to successful completion of MA
, MPhil and PhD
degrees.
The Centre is working to establish, regionally and nationally, a research community of scholars who are committed to children and family services.
The CREC Learning Circle has met regularly since 2003 for presentations or discussions on early childhood issues, and includes students, policy makers, local authority leaders and visiting academics.
From this learning community will come the future leaders, tutors and thinkers for this key area of social, educational, health and economic policy.
As always, the first session of the new academic year is an opportunity to catch up after the summer and contribute ideas for LC session themes and topics for the year. Once a year, in the summer, the Learning Circle has a rural ‘walk the talk’ session, sharing a research paper and a light meal as a group.
