Editorial: Teacher Education Advancement Network Journal, 8 (1)

It is inspiring to see a renewed flurry of activity around the TEAN journal. The TEAN journal is your journal, statistics for past issues of the journal show that papers are constantly viewed online as the numbers of ‘viewings’ rises year on year. It is a collaborative endeavour in that it owes much to its reviewers and the help they give aspiring authors. It is supportive in many ways: it supports inexperienced reviewers to become experienced; it supports new authors through the process of producing a paper worthy of publication; it supports your research and scholarly activity by giving it prominence on a potentially global stage. It is useful, thought-provoking, interesting, often fascinating and always indicative of skilled and dedicated teacher educators. Since its inception it has been published thanks to the efforts and commitment of its publishing editor, Linda Shore and I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for publishing the TEAN journal for us
