The conference theme this year is 'Navigating leadership' and we have an agenda to support school leaders as you steer schools through still and troubled waters.
We are pleased to announce our guest speaker for Thursday 15 May, Marie Gleeson, former Irish Navy Captain. Marie shares her military leadership experience to inspire and educate on decision-making, resilience, and team performance and overcoming challenging.
Rachel Hogan from the Children’s Law Centre will lead the session ‘Human rights – a guiding light’, empowering school leaders with the legal perspective on special educational needs, while Safer Schools NI will help you navigate the social media minefield.
The minister of education, Paul Given MLA, and the chair of the Education Committee, Nick Mathison MLA, will share their thoughts on the future of education and Ian Hartwright, NAHT head of policy, will join Barry O’Rourke and Sean Fearon from ETI in a conversation about inspection.
We hope you can join us!
