Professional Learning Hubs
The Centre for Teaching Excellence will operate through a national network of Professional Learning Hubs across Scotland. Our three core regional hubs will go live in August 2025, with three thematic hubs, shaped by responses to our national survey, launching from January 2026.
Together, these hubs will enable regional collaboration while contributing to a national programme of teacher-led, research-informed professional learning.
Each hub will support:
- Locally relevant professional learning and practitioner enquiry
- Thematic communities of practice
- Opportunities for teachers to engage with research and with one another
We are currently in the design and development phase, with the first wave of hub activity launching in August 2025, and national collaboration events running through to March 2026.
We will continue to share updates on the hubs, including how to get involved, via our website and social media channels.
Prof. Brianna L. Kennedy, Hub Lead for Teaching-Focused Research, introduces how CfTE’s Professional Learning Hubs will support teachers across Scotland and shares what you can expect as activities begin to launch.
