International Teacher Education impact team

ITE Impact is a research group dedicated to transforming international education through design-based research. 
We work with hundreds of schools across more than 50 countries to co-create innovative educational designs with teachers, students, and school leaders to strengthen multilingualism, inclusion, sustainability, assessment, and ethical applications of technology. We collaborate with large educational organisations on research projects to contribute to scholarship that advances theory, informs practice, and strengthens international education.
Based at the global center for international teacher education in Meppel, we connect research, teacher education, and real-world school practice, to help classrooms be places where all young people can have their talents nurtured and their perspectives valued. 
We are interested in exploring new modalities of education for new relationships with each other, the natural world, and the planet as a whole.
You can read more about our values in our manifesto and by watching the inaugural lecture from the research group.

This collection showcases research projects from the team highlighting how educational design can help international schools foster diversity, pluralism, and critical global citizenship.
Our scholarship for the Flourishing of All spans across three interconnected frames:
1.    Multiperspectivity
2.    Critical Inquiry and Reflexive Praxis for International Schools
