THE EDUCATION SHOW PREVIEW
What to expect at The Education Show 2018 T
his year The Education Show will highlight three key areas that are in the sights of teachers and education policy makers alike: creativity, wellbeing and literacy. Over three days visitors of The Education Show can expect to hear from education experts and celebrity guests, including award-winning children’s author Michael Rosen and Strictly Come Dancing judge Darcy Bussell.
For 27 years this has been the event to attend for educators across the UK wishing to find out how to make their school an even more inspirational place for teachers and students, and those wanting to keep up to date with the latest trends in education. This year, the event will celebrate the mix of practicality, fun and creativity that teachers bring to their roles to inspire their pupils, while supporting the knowledge and commitment of schools.
Featuring over 200 of the most creative education solutions and resources from well-loved brands and exciting new companies, visitors will be able to get hands on with what inspires children to learn and thrive. Educators, policy makers and leading speakers join in a diverse programme of seminars during the event, helping to equip teachers to be able to navigate policy changes and create a fun interactive learning environment for pupils of any age. Anita Pal, event director of the Education Show, said, “The Education Show and its
community demonstrates the many different aspects of a rich and creative education each year and it’s always a pleasure to work with our teachers to deliver the show. As always, literacy and numeracy are at the heart of the event but this year the role that wellbeing, innovation and the arts have on education are being highlighted in an exciting way.”
The Education Show’s feature areas will help teachers explore topics such as teaching with creativity, health and wellbeing, arts and crafts and learning through technology. In addition to the always exciting and varied speaker sessions, there will also be a number of new hands-on workshops to support teachers in their continued professional development.
As always, there is a lot to be excited about in the speaker sessions. Below you can see a summary of what will be happening on the Main Stage: • Case study: build a successful wellbeing programme in 200 days!
