System failure? Exploring the interplay of fear of failure, competition, cooperation and sense of belonging in education in England and Flanders

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fear of failure is damaging in a host of ways yet is rife in many schools.

Does education policy affect teachers' learning needs? An international comparison of trends in teachers' continuing professional learning needs in secondary schools in Australia, England, Japan and the Netherlands

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Education policy changes are believed to influence teachers' continuing professional learning (CPL) needs, but there is limited empirical evidence to support these claims. This lack of deep understanding has significant practical implications. This study used a new circular conceptual framework to analyse teachers' CPL needs. Leveraging public
