GNDE Activities:  A Side Meeting at the AERA Conference, 5-9 April 2019, Toronto

The Global Network of Deans of Education was pleased to organize its first meeting and workshop at the conference of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) held in Toronto, Canada on April 5-9, 2019.

Here is a recording of the presentations and ensuing discussions. Also, please refer to these notes taken from the discussions.

The session included Skype-based presentations and discussions with three UN/Global agencies; the UNESCO Teacher Education Task Force, the Education Workforce Initiative of the Education Commission chaired by Gordon Brown UN Envoy, and the OECD Education 2030 Initiative. See the detailed agenda for more information and speakers.

Following the discussion with UN/Global agencies, participants were asked for their views on how the Global Network of Deans of Education should evolve. See this description of the GNDE planned activities developed thus far.

One part of that GNDE plan includes cooperation with other international education organizations and faculty/research associations concerned with initial and post-graduate teacher education. A number of existing networks and organizations were invited to the meeting to explore potential collaboration.

Subsequent to that open discussion, participants will be invited to join the Interim GNDE Steering Committee for a discussion of next steps.  


The meeting was open to all interested in networking to exchange information and knowledge as well as providing input on behalf of Deans of education to a variety of UN agencies 

GNDE expresses its thanks to The Centre for the Study of Education Policy & Leadership at Simon Fraser university for hosting this GNDE meeting.
