This one day in-person conference is for secondary school teaching staff and will feature sessions aimed at those teaching at the chalkface as well as those leading teaching and learning in our schools.

From pedagogy, teaching and assessment insights to classroom tips and ideas - and from inclusive classrooms and mental health support to CPD, leadership and managing workload – this event will offer 16 sessions dedicated to secondary phase teaching and learning across three broad streams:
• Delivering teaching (for those working at the chalkface)
• Leading teaching (for those leading teaching and teachers in schools)
• Removing barriers to learning (for both pastoral and teaching staff).

There will also be sessions focused on how we can remove some of the common barriers that our students face to learning. Every workshop will offer practical examples, ideas and tips to help improve teaching and learning in your classroom or across your teaching team.

The programme includes the likes of Jon Tait, Bukky Yusuf, Kristian Still, Helen Webb, Jean Gross, Dr Robin Bevan, Dr Gohar Khan, Patrick Cozier, Sean Harris and more.

The day will open with a keynote presentation from SecEd’s most prolific author of all-time – Matt Bromley, who will be drawing on some of his back catalogue of more than 150 articles when he discusses 10 top tips for teachers to help plan, teach, and assess great learning.
