Centre for Teaching Excellence

Research Hubs

The Centre for Teaching Excellence will operate through a national network of research hubs across Scotland. Our three regional hubs launched in August 2025, with three additional hubs, shaped by responses to our national survey, launched in 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 will continue to share updates on the hubs, including how to get involved, via our website and social media channels.
