Overview
Uitgeverij Ten Brink Meppel BV, trading as Ten Brink Uitgevers, is a Dutch publishing house based in Meppel that specialises in professional literature for education professionals. Its catalogue and online platform are aimed at teachers and instructors working in primary, secondary and higher education, with a strong emphasis on evidence-informed teaching practice. The publisher's output combines printed and digital professional books with online leergangen (learning courses). A prominent example is the online course 'Studeren met succes' (Studying Successfully), which translates findings from cognitive psychology and related learning sciences into classroom practice, helping teachers support students in making better-informed decisions about their own learning. Another flagship offering is the online course 'Wijze Lessen', built around the book of the same name, which explores twelve building blocks of effective didactics through classroom examples, expert videos and exercises. Ten Brink Uitgevers positions itself as a specialist supplier of vakliteratuur (professional literature) for onderwijsprofessionals — teachers, school leaders and teacher trainers. Its materials are used in Dutch-language education markets, including the Netherlands and Flanders, where terminology such as basisonderwijs/primair onderwijs and secundair/voortgezet onderwijs reflects its cross-border Dutch-language audience. The company operates as a private publisher. Its official website serves as both a catalogue and a portal for its online courses, reflecting the broader shift in educational publishing from print-only products to blended and online professional development. The Wikidata entry Q109675629 records the legal name Uitgeverij Ten Brink Meppel BV, confirming Meppel as the registered base of the business.
History
Uitgeverij Ten Brink Meppel BV is a Dutch publishing company registered in Meppel and recorded in Wikidata under the identifier Q109675629. The business operates under the trade name Ten Brink Uitgevers and has built its identity around publishing professional literature — vakliteratuur — for education professionals. Its development reflects wider changes in Dutch educational publishing. Where publishers once focused primarily on textbooks and printed professional books, Ten Brink Uitgevers has expanded into online leergangen, combining books with digital courses, video material and practical exercises. This model is visible in its online course 'Studeren met succes', which draws on cognitive psychology and related learning sciences to help teachers understand how students learn, forget, remember and apply knowledge, and how effective study strategies can be taught. The course is aimed at teachers in secundair, voortgezet or higher education. A second flagship, the online leergang 'Wijze Lessen', is designed for primary (basis/primair) and secondary (secundair/voortgezet) education. It builds on the book Wijze Lessen and explores twelve building blocks of effective didactics, using classroom examples, expert videos and exercises. Together these offerings illustrate the publisher's strategy of pairing authoritative professional books with structured online professional development. The company serves the Dutch-language education market, which spans the Netherlands and Flanders in Belgium, and positions itself specifically for onderwijsprofessionals — teachers, school leaders and others involved in teaching and learning. As a private limited company (BV), it operates independently rather than as a listed entity. Detailed public information about its founding date, founders and ownership structure is limited in the available sources.
