Internal telephone ext 2050

It’s a privilege to work with such a talented and experienced group of people and I am inspired by the rich possibilities that the idea of SCEPTrE holds.
We are continually excited by the way our colleagues, our students and our associates have used the spaces and resources we have to experiment and change our understanding of professional learning and higher education.
It gives me great pleasure to be a small part of this.

Professor Michael Eraut

Research Consultant

Professor Michael Eraut (Research Consultant)
Michael is the UK’s leading researcher into how professionals learn in work place settings. His pioneering research has found that most learning occurs informally during normal working processes and that there is considerable scope for recognising and enhancing such learning. His books include the highly acclaimed Developing Professional Knowledge and Competence. He has just completed an ESRC-funded five year study of how professionals learn in the early part of their careers. During 2008 he is facilitating a series of Faculty-based conversations with interested tutors involved in professional training with the objective of seeing how his research findings can be used to improve the professional training experiences of our students.

Co-Lab Team

In October 2008 thirteen students: Abigail Allen; Eleanor Daniels; Maham Farooq; Andra Ilie; Jessica Lo; Harrison Talbot-Brown; Thong Teo (TJ); John Bannister; Kikelomo Babs-Jonah
