Thank you to everyone who attended the Teacher Retention and Professional Development Conference on 9th June 2021.
Organised by the Oustanding Schools team, the conference set to bring together international school leaders to explore, discuss and debate the best possible solutions to improving and supporting teacher retention through effective and adaptive CPD, as well as provide guidance on how to best empower every single teacher to be healthy, productive and resilient.
The event included 15 hours of CPD accredited content delivered through a mix of stimulating and thought-provoking presentations and panels, and interactive roundtables and workshops facilitating reflection and collaboration.
Please check out our next flagship Outstanding Schools Middle East Conference taking place on the 12-14 October 2021, online.
The Teacher Retention and Professional Development Conference provided a timely and necessary platform for educational leaders and experts to come together and discuss solutions for optimising professional learning, for example through the effective use of technology, coaching, and teacher-centred approaches. School leaders had the opportunity to gain strategic guidance, and explored evidence-based best practice around CPD and CPD leadership that emerged from the pandemic, as well as understood the importance of SEL, wellbeing and PD in retaining a skilled, productive and happy teaching workforce.
Key takeaways of the event included:
This was a highly interactive conference made up of a mix of presentations, panel debates, “video-on” workshops and roundtable discussions, which enabled participants to listen and learn, but also contribute to the discussion through the live chat and in break-out rooms. The event also facilitated networking in 1-to-1 meetings, and this was all delivered via our event platform, Swapcard.
