Building Personalised PD: How emerging technology changes the game

In a time when teacher retention and staff development are critical priorities, many schools still rely on generic, one-size-fits-all professional development (PD) that often fails to engage or inspire.

In this practical and inspiring session, we’ll explore how personalised professional development can transform your school culture, empowering teachers to own their growth, supporting wellbeing, and helping develop your future leaders.
Drawing on real-world examples from schools within our community, discover step-by-step strategies that leverage research-informed approaches and innovative technology to build a personalised PD model at scale.

Learn how moving PD from compliance to confidence can help you retain your best teachers, upskill your team, and create a thriving, connected school community.
