👩‍🏫 How can we make vocabulary learning effective and enjoyable for young learners? Join specialist Bex Adlard as she explores how visually led, topic-based teaching, combined with the games and puzzles children naturally love, helps learners aged 6–10 acquire and retain English vocabulary. 📖 Examine then how vocabulary is processed and stored in long-term memory, emphasizing the role of familiar puzzles and games to unlocking vocabulary retention. Drawing on examples from the Collins 1,000 English Words Activity Books, teachers will leave with a choice of actionable ideas to implement in their classrooms. ✍ The session also addresses the challenge of extending learning beyond the classroom, particularly for learners with limited home support with English. By providing independent, engaging activities, this approach helps bridge the gap between school and home learning.

Facilitated by Helen Morgan The ECIS Global Pedagogy Certificate in Relational and Restorative Practices invites educators working in international settings to explore how relational and restorative approaches can transform classroom culture and strengthen community. With a focus on building strong, respectful relationships, this session offers practical tools for creating inclusive environments where every student feels a sense of belonging, connection, and value. Rather than managing behaviour through control, participants will explore how to respond to challenges with curiosity, care, and consistency by fostering accountability, empathy, and mutual respect. Grounded in global pedagogy and informed by research, the course ignites reflection on the role of identity, language, and culture in relational dynamics. Through reflective dialogue and hands-on strategies, educators will leave with a strengthened relational toolkit and a clearer vision for cultivating trust and inclusion in their context. Session 1: Turning Up the Volume on Relationships Session 2: Restorative Practice: Repairing and Restoring Relationships Session 3: Building Your Behaviour and Relationships Toolkit

The government’s latest NEET data shows that the number of young people not in education, employment, and training is up. Over 800,000 16 to 24-year-olds were NEET which is around 3,000 more than a year earlier. Whilst the annual figures represent a 0.3 percentage point fall – down from 13.6% in 2024 to 13.3% last year - this still equates to more than one in eight young people and is up one third since the pandemic. This matters because studies have shown that time spent NEET can have a detrimental effect on physical and mental health, and increase the likelihood of unemployment, low wages, or low quality of work later on in life.  Research shows the origins to becoming NEET go back to secondary school and the transition into post-16 learning. Further, studies have shown that young people without qualifications are twice as likely to be NEET compared to peers qualified to GCSE level and above. Young people who exit education at 16 infrequently return to education to take higher qualifications - and without them, the risk of NEET doubles. Young people who are struggling at school are at significant risk of becoming NEET later on. So, what can secondary schools and local authorities do to prevent young people from becoming NEET?  In this half day masterclass, education expert Matt Bromley will explore the link between disengagement, absenteeism, and NEET - offering strategies for school leaders and teachers to foster a better sense of belonging in school, including for those who face additional challenges such as being disadvantaged or having SEND, so that young people attend, engage, and make progress at school, and are helped to find suitable future pathways post-16.

This interactive masterclass will support participants with the legal knowledge, practical tools and confidence to proactively prevent sexual harassment, respond appropriately to concerns, and foster a respectful, safe and inclusive workplace culture. It reflects the significant shift in UK law from reactive handling to active prevention, tightening employer accountability and increasing legal and reputational risk for inaction. This masterclass supports participants to understand their responsibilities under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, now in force, which places a proactive duty on employers to take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment before it happens. It also prepares organisations for the further strengthening of the law under the Employment Rights Act 2025, including new whistleblowing protections for sexual harassment from April 2026 and the shift to a higher standard of “all reasonable steps” from October 2026. These changes significantly increase employer accountability, including reputational risk and potential financial penalties for non compliance. By the end of this masterclass, participants will be able to: Understand the legal duties placed on employers by the Worker Protection Act 2023 and the Employment Rights Act 2025. Explain introduction of Whistleblowing Protections for sexual harassment and the shift from “reasonable steps” to “all reasonable steps” in preventing sexual harassment. Recognise different forms of sexual harassment, including third party harassment (suppliers, contractors, visitors). Identify early warning signs of inappropriate behaviour and cultural risk. Implement proactive, preventative measures to reduce harassment risk. Respond appropriately and confidently to disclosures and complaints. Understand the consequences of non compliance. Promote a culture of respect, accountability and inclusive behaviours. Evaluate current workplace practices and identify practical improvements. Apply learning to real world scenarios and leadership decision.
