Presentations

Want a fast-paced, hands-on workshop to make sense of some of the big challenges facing your profession? One that drives you to do your very best thinking, generates deep and memorable conversation, and also happens to be a lot of genuine, playful fun?

Explore ways to set teams up for increased collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity by increasing psychological safety through the lens of TERA, while connecting to norms and agreements, levering protocols, and growing in ways to navigate conflict.

In this presentation, I will outline the measures taken by ABA Oman International School to revisit our student council structure and operations, in order to increase student ownership, agency and voice and the positive effects this has, almost instantly, had on our post-pandemic climate. I will share how students have been coached in essential life-long skills of conversation, collaboration, creative thinking and project management in order to address their chosen issues.

Participants will explore the fundamental components of 5+1, and leave with an understanding of how they might apply the model at their own school, including tailoring it to their own needs.

Join us for "Cultural Compass: Navigating Leadership Across Borders," a dynamic workshop for educators and leaders aimed at enhancing understanding of leadership in multicultural settings.

World-renowned speaker and wellbeing expert Dale Sidebottom, founder of The School of Play, invites you to an energising 45-minute keynote designed for every person in the room, educators, leaders and innovators alike. In an age of AI and accelerating technology, the skills that matter most are profoundly human: connection, creativity, resilience and joy.

Participants will leave with a framework for moving from screening to instruction, helping schools build a data-informed approach to student well-being, engagement, and success.

Over the past few years I have been re-considering and reflecting on my own use of reward systems.
