What’s the BIG Idea?
This forward-looking session invites Jon Severs, Harroop Sandhu and Yalinie Vigneswaran to pose a thought-provoking “What if …?” question for the Initial Teacher Training (ITT) sector. Delegates will then have the opportunity to discuss and deliberate the topics raised.
Delegates will be seated at round tables, creating space to reflect on what they hear, debate ideas and discuss shared challenges with peers.
Places are very limited because of this format, so we encourage you to book soon if you would like to join us.
