Join us for The Great Teaching Conference an exceptional day of in-person professional development led by two leading voices in evidence-informed practice: Stuart Kime, Co-Founder and Director of Education at Evidence Based Education, and Adam Kohlbeck, Director of Teacher Quality at Chiltern Learning Trust.
