The expert panel will be made up of people who understand the needs of teacher education in the developing world and who share a deep academic and professional interest in this area. The panel will engage in a process which shares educational experience between practitioners from both the developed and developing world.  

This panel will:

• meet once a year probably for three days (most likely in late summer or March)
  
• review the most recent annual internal and external evaluations of the programme
  
• further evaluate the work being carried out and review course materials, strategies, methodologies and any internal and external reports
• share the latest relevant international best practice and, where possible, make proposals as to how such practices can best be adopted by the Global Schoolroom programme
• From time to time visit Global Schoolroom training hubs in India and Africa  

The panel will also be afforded the opportunity to engage in academic research.

Composition of the expert panel

It is the intention that the expert panel be composed of five academics drawn from India, Uganda, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States - so representing the views of current and potential Global Schoolroom partners.

Expenses
