EDUCATION SHOW 2019 PREVIEW
The Education Show sets out a new offering for school leadership T
he Education Show is back, for the first time ever moving to London on the new
dateline of 24th-25th January. It will offer 40+ sessions of CPD talks and seminars with a fresh outlook on how to make schools and colleges a success, with new and trusted education suppliers on hand giving demos and showcasing practical solutions. The process for selecting the Education Show
agenda starts months in advance, beginning with research calls and interviews with hundreds of senior school leadership and middle management members from all around the country to uncover sector trends and the hot topics. It is probably no surprise that there was consensus on the challenges leadership has to face: having to make the best of budgets, knowing what to prioritise, working collaboratively which can include the need to become more creative in approach due to changes in policy while there’s limited funding, and thinking outside the box to build additional revenue streams. At the same time, there are the issues of teacher recruitment and retention, while rising class numbers, and the desire to maintain the levels of care expected for student mental health and well-being, add to the pressures of academic targets. To star centre stage, the Education Show team
has invited the educators and sector experts who can provide an informative and inspirational agenda programme to help school leadership, middle management and business managers meet those challenges. Highlights include the
famed headteacher known for turning around the UK’s most notorious school with the largest debt in history; the physicist getting pupils to work at CERN and NASA; 2018 TES award winning teachers; the education journalist researching the secret lives of teachers; and union leaders fighting for a better tomorrow for educators and learners – the show is now a hub for educational change designed to inspire action.
CPD accredited sessions focused on senior and middle leadership teams Over two days CPD accredited sessions will aim to steer schools towards being well-oiled, well- funded, and happy powerhouses of learning. They also give leaders a chance to invest in themselves. Practitioner-led sessions ensure the ideas can be practically applied rather than aspirational; the brilliant TES teacher winners will take to the stage; Jane Nolan, Headteacher of the Year, Steve Cook, Creative School of the Year, and James Hollinsley, Employer of the Year. There is global insight to education trends which will be outlined by teachers from the Nordics, often hailed as the most forward- thinking and admired countries for their approach to education. Other compelling presenters will ignite passion in educators, helping staff retention by rekindling their love for their subject. Professor Becky Parker’s session is perfect for this, about propelling schools into projects with NASA and CERN. Back down to earth, there’s advice from ESFA who will share best practice on

budget allocation, plus entrepreneurial tricks that schools can use to raise their own funds. For schools grappling with mental health policy requirements and compulsory sex education teaching there are walk-through guides from award-winning wellbeing school teachers.
Three stages to host agenda programme on policy, business and pedagogy For the first time the agenda programme is divided into three clear themes that reflect the critical areas of school life: Pedagogy in Practice which will cover skill development in the classroom; Policy in Practice that will offer the chance to quiz policy makers, journalists and game-changing heads as they discuss the future of education, while School Business is set up to help budgeting and management decisions. Major themes through the Pedagogy stream
include creating a connected curriculum for the 21st century; reducing workloads through lesson planning; maximising and sharing the expertise in schools through CPD; designing classrooms for the best learning outcomes; and uncovering the power of the Arts in the curriculum. With performances from those behind the London dungeons and talks by Danish SEN teachers, there will be a smorgasbord of award-winning best practices to provide inspiration. Ian Taylor, National Lead of the Curriculum at AET is set to discuss what it means to create a modern, impactful and useful curriculum. Kirsty Tonks, Principal and regional leader of #WomenEd,
