DTTEG Update - Autumn 2026 Welcome Our new Chair, Janine Pavlis (St Mary's University, London) welcomes you to the first DTTEG Update of the 2026/27 academic year. Save the date: the DTTEG Symposium returns in 2027, with tickets on sale in January. This issue also brings two new reads for D&T teacher educators, each with a discount code that expires before the end of the year. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Birmingham City University in June for the 2026 Symposium

The final part of a three-part series for D&T teacher educators, mentors and CPD leads. Part 1 set out why ‘ideation’ has been doing too much work. Part 2 worked through the eleven types as a reference. This part is the one to read with a scheme of work, a trainee's lesson plan or next term's CPD calendar open beside you.

Part 2 of a three-part series for D&T teacher educators, mentors and CPD leads. Part 1 set out why ‘ideation’ has been doing too much work and introduced the three axes the eleven types sit on. This part is the reference: what each type is, where it comes from, and what it looks like in a pupil's folder. Part 3 turns the typology into ITE and mentoring practice.
