International Consortium on Writing in Teacher Education

ICWTE forwards research and professional practice on writing in teacher education, from initial teacher education to school-based professional learning and postgraduate continuing education for practicing teachers. Teachers are writers, as their professional work requires them to create and use a wide range of professional documents. As well, writing, and academic literacies more broadly, are significant for both learning and assessment in teacher education settings. Our work spans multiple countries and teacher education context, with the overall goal of illuminating the importance of teachers' literacy practices across the professional lifespan.

ICWTE is co-sponsored by Strathclyde Institute of Education and the Institut for Læreruddannelse, University College Copenhagen. It is led by Rebekah Sims, Anna-Vera Meidell Sigsgaard, Inger-Lise Mourier, Marie-Louise Molbæk, and Sharon Hunter.
