Online event series launched to support educators
Discovery Education is launching a series of free virtual events aimed at helping educators across the UK address some of the most important topics in education.
With over 20 events on offer between April and July, the events explore important current issues such as building an inclusive culture, delivering an enriched curriculum and meeting new RSHE requirements. They cover both leadership and in-classroom teaching, and include thought leadership interviews, peer 2 peer learning and discussions on classroom practice.
Andrew Hammond, Senior Director of Learning and Community at Discovery Education said: “It’s never been more important for educators to feel supported, motivated and encouraged in their profession. Our new learning events are designed to help teachers navigate today’s challenges and opportunities while enhancing their professional development, classroom practice and wellbeing. We’re looking forward to connecting with teachers everywhere and hope that as many as possible will join us online this term.”
Discovery Education’s Professional Learning programme is enjoyed by teachers and school leaders across the UK and around the world.
Speaking after a recent event, Haneen Al Jaaf, a teacher at London’s King Fahad Academy said, “The sessions are brilliant, to the point, easy to follow!”
Lorraine, a primary school headteacher from Kent said, “The virtual meeting last week was one of the most useful and relevant things I have listened to for a long time!”
