Why This Conference Is Different

Led by someone who's been there. As a former headteacher with 25+ years in education, I've supported many early career teachers through exactly the challenges you're facing now.

Designed specifically for teachers in their early career, understanding the unique pressures of schools.

Practical, not preachy. Strategies that are used in real classrooms with real pressures.

Small and supportive. Limited attendance for meaningful interaction and genuine networking.
