DAY 1: THURSDAY 7TH MAY. NEXWORKING. 10:00-11:30

‘Nexworking’ is a fast paced, 90 minute CPD session where you'll take part in five 12 minute workshops designed to showcase the very best products and practises being used in schools across the UK. The workshops have been designated based on the survey results of the attendees. In return for these discussions and market research, the providers subsidise the cost of the whole meeting to keep it affordable for many more delegates to attend. This session also provides an insight for delegates into what resources are available, how these might fit into their school development plans, understand the research evidence they are based upon as well as being given an opportunity to draw on the providers’ experience of managing projects across a number of schools. Once this session has finished you will then have access to the rest of this week's CPD sessions.
