Keynotes, Workshops and Q&A Panels

Our selection of speakers will incorporate teachers, teacher trainers, academic directors, school directors and key stakeholders in the teacher training industry.  Together we will explore the future direction of the industry of teacher training from an academic and commercial perspective and seek answers to the questions: what do teachers and teacher trainers need now, what will they need in the future, and are our current courses delivering that?  How can we ensure we are continually innovating and developing our existing courses to meet the changing needs of the teacher training market?
