to encourage dialogue between those responsible for selection and
recruitment decisions and those seeking to become fully qualified
teachers. It will explore issues surrounding diversity in the school
workforce and links to individual pupil achievement as well as drawing
on lessons learnt from employing refugees in the National Health
Service.
UK NARIC, the national agency for comparing overseas qualifications,
will also launch their guidance report on teacher training in ten
relevant countries, and will be exploring issues surrounding
qualifications and AP(E)L with higher education and teacher training
providers.
The event is aimed at refugee and other teachers, employers and
advisors, senior management in schools, headteachers, CPD coordinators,
school governors, local authority staff, school workforce advisors,
teacher trainers, and those with an interest in the topic.
The conference will include:
* Keynote speakers from the GLA and TDA
* Workshops exploring issues around employment and assessment of
qualifications
* Discussion and networking sessions
Registration with refreshments begins at 9:30, and lunch will also be
served.
