Our first Annual Secondary NQT Conference will take place from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm on 5th February

2014. Our focus this year will be Early Professional Development.

The conference is FREE to all BG NQTs.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to reflect with your fellow students, university staff and guest speakers on what you have learned, to share how you have applied this, and look forward to your future development.

There will be a choice of workshops on issues to support where you are now. The conference is a
great opportunity to meet up with old friends and network with colleagues, and you will receive a BGU attendance certificate for your CPD file!

To help ensure that the workshops address your current needs and interests, please indicate which of the following possible workshops would appeal to you. We welcome suggestions for additional topics, and will try to accommodate these if possible.

  • Behaviour
  • The flipped classroom at A level
  • Gifted, more able and talented
  • Career pathways
  • Active learning
  • Advice from a Recently Qualified Teacher
  • Creative teaching and learning
  • Sharing triumphs and disasters

We will meet at 4:00 pm in Hardy TR1 for tea and cake, with a welcome at 4:30 from the Vice Chancellor, Revd Dr Peter Neil. We are informing your Head Teacher of this event, and hope you will be able to join us.
