teaching & learning academy

The new Teaching & Learning Academy (TLA) was launched on 29 November 2011. Full details are available on the new TLA website.

You can contact the TLA at enquiries@tla.ac.uk

Some TLA webpages will remain available until the GTC closes in March 2012, after which TLA research publications will continue to be freely available from the new owner, the TLA consortium, on the TLA Resources page.

These include the Research for Teachers summaries and anthologies.
 
You can download an updated directory of these for more information and links to the new location of each item.
