Celebrating ten years of research and innovation
In 2013, the education staff at Sheffield Hallam University were brought together to establish the Sheffield Institute of Education with the aim of fostering closer collaboration and building stronger connections across our areas of work. Since that time, we have evolved into a national hub of excellence, gaining regional, national and international acclaim for our achievements in teaching, learning, professional development, research, and evaluation. To mark our 10-year anniversary, and in recognition of our ongoing work, we have produced a commemorative publication showcasing some of our areas of interest and expertise.
