The DEI Virtual Conference for ITTs 2024-25: PART 1

The 'DEI Virtual Conference for ITTs' is a an opportunity for trainee teachers to come together for a day of raising consciousness, competence and confidence when it comes to DEI and their teaching practice.

We have curated a brilliant line up of people to share their expertise and experience - they will share practical tips on how to create an inclusive classroom and an inclusive curriculum.

The sessions will be reflective, discursive and practical. They will be recorded and available for ticket holders afterwards.

For the 2024-25 academic year the event will be split across two dates - Friday 20th September 2024 and Friday 31st January 2025. The cohort ticket price enables trainees to attend both parts of the event live or to catch-up via the recordings.
