On the 5th June, 2023, 15 EAL teachers representing the following local authorities (LAs) across the north of England: Durham, North & South Tyneside, Gateshead, Northumberland, Newcastle and Sunderland, attended an online TEAMS knowledge exchange event delivered by Dr Tom Richardson. These teachers were made aware of the TEAMS project, its structure, process and outcomes, and also how these outcomes relate to EAL support work in the north of England, as well as how collaborative networks there can be supported and developed.
