The Centre for Innovation in Teacher Education and Development (CITED) works with all those involved in teacher education and development wherever they are based to improve the professional preparation and continuing development of school teachers, driven by the values and measured by the standards of equity and social justice. CITED is a key instigator of support, debate and research-informed professional learning for all those with an interest in teacher education.
Through our local, national and international networks CITED is able to access cutting edge, research-based knowledge that can be shared and debated. Through our active collaborations with teachers, schools, districts, professional associations, charities and other organisations, we are able to design programmes that allow research-based knowledge to have transformative impact and contribute to positive, creative change in teacher education practices.

Activities
Supporting and Developing Pre-service Teachers
11 December 2019// In England, the impact of the Schools White Paper The Importance of Teaching (DfE, 2010) was significant, particularly on the university sector, heralding renewed pressure towards entirely school-led and school-based pre-service teacher training. So, almost a decade later, where are we now with pre-service teacher education in England?
Refining innovations in educational systems: a CITED workshop
The Center for Innovation in Teacher Education and Development at King's College London is hosting a workshop led by William R. Penuel, professor of learning sciences and human development in the School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. This event has now passed.
Courses
CITED’s education programmes have been jointly created by King’s College London and Teachers College, Columbia University to meet the needs of all those involved in teacher education and continuing professional learning.
Our portfolio begins with short courses and will eventually include a doctoral degree that will appeal to a wide range of teacher educators, policy-makers, activists and charity and NGO workers around the world.
Short courses
Our short courses demonstrate our commitment to our driving principles of equity and social justice as well as our commitment to supporting teacher educators develop rigorous research programmes that are designed to have professional impact. Participants in these short courses will have ongoing access to future CITED networking and support activities.
Committing to Equity and Justice in Teacher Education
Online mode only; self-directed independent study. Suitable for all teacher educators working in schools, colleges, universities, local and regional government and elsewhere.
This online course invites teacher educators to examine their current identities and practices and offers tools for critiquing, revising, and redesigning teacher education programmes. Participants will identify how current structures and experiences in teacher education reproduce educational and social inequities and will have the opportunity to develop teacher education courses, activities and/or workshops that foster equity and social justice as design imperatives.
Course leader: Professor Mariana Souto-Manning.
More information and application procedure.
Developing Research in Teacher Education: From Design to Publication
Blended mode only; online components precede and follow a two-day, face-to-face workshop in either London or New York. Suitable for advanced doctoral students and early career researchers in the broad field of teacher education.
This course is designed to help beginning researchers in the field of teacher education contextualise their research; understand some of the challenges facing this research field, particularly around the contested notion of ‘quality’; and consider all aspects of the research process from design to peer-reviewed publication. The course places particular emphasis on issues of methodological rigour and research impact and all participants will receive feedback on one aspect of their work in progress.
