The first workshop series of 2026 ā the IATEFL ReSIG / MenTRnetĀ Ā Mentoring Teacher-Research workshop series ā ran from August 29 to 3 October and focused on developing teacher-research mentoring skills. Led by Seden Eraldemir Tuyan, with a team including Ravi Chakrakodi, Ana Garcia Stone, Mariana Serra, Richard Smith, and Elyanora Menglieva, this series was intended for those who have started or are hoping to start to mentor teachers or student-teachers to research their own practice.
