This IOE and RWBA collaboration aims to support teachers through high profile expert keynote speakers, seminar discussions and a series of hands on, practical workshops designed to inform, inspire and support outstanding teaching and learning in the classroom. The conference is supported, and will involve contributions from, a range of educational organisations and networks. It will showcase cutting edge research, share best practice and advocate a holistic educational approach, for as Nelson Mandela stated: education is the more powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
