LEADING FOR THE 21ST CENTURY -SCHOOL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
Shanghai, 23-25 October 2013
Debate, share and learn with education leaders, head teachers and policy makers on school leadership.
In a highly globalised and rapidly changing world, many jobs needed in twenty years' time do not exist today, so how can we be confident young people are equipped to compete and succeed in their futures?
Join our international conference 'Leading for the 21st Century' to debate how school leadership should and will play an active role in making the education work for each and every child.
Around the world, school leaders are being given increasing autonomy and accountability for the learning experience and outcomes of young people. Our conference will bring together a range of policy makers, researchers and school leaders to look at issues that define and shape current thinking in education.
Conference themes:
Autonomy and accountability
School-led development - challenges and responses
Succeeding in a globalised world
Leading learning and curriculum
Growing a new generation of leaders
Cultural and behaviour change making it work
Practice and innovations
Opportunities to visit high performing schools in Shanghai
