Chairs: Dan Forman and Alice Mauchline
Background
The provision of high quality teaching of ecological sciences is critical to the continued development of current and future ecologists. The Teaching and Learning Group brings together all those involved in ecological education in order to share best practise, support educational career development and to provide an open forum for debates and discussion of pedagogical issues. We cover education at all levels including schools, higher education and CPD and in all settings: field, lab and classroom. We welcome everyone to the group, wherever in the world they may be, to join in the discussions and networks.
