Virtual CPLD & Networking Events
Across the academic year we will be hosting 10 virtual CPLD and networking events (as part of the EfL LearningShared CPLD Programme) that offer a deep dive into key areas of SEND and inclusion. The focus of these events is to connect like minded colleagues who share a passion for a particular area of SEND and inclusion. Leading experts from across the sector will lead the sessions sharing national insights and provocations for us to explore and reflect on as a community. In addition Exceptional leaders and practitioners from across the community will share innovative practice and case studies in the form of lightning talks and contributions to panel discussions.

AI – Opportunities and Risks: October 16th (3:45pm – 5pm)
Whether we like it or not AI has slowly creeped into our daily lives in recent years and will undoubtedly have a huge impact on our learners moving forward. Beyond the more common use of bots and search engines like ChatGPT there are significant opportunities and risks for leaders to consider. The potential to reduce workload and train our workforce could be transformational for the profession whilst accessibility features for the most vulnerable of learners is unquestionably exciting. On the flip side do we risk deskilling practitioners and losing the craft of teaching and having young people retreat even further into a digital online world? In this session through panel discussions, lightning talk input and open debate we explore innovative and successful approaches to AI and what future government policy might mean for us.

Preparing for life: October 22nd (3:45pm – 5pm Virtual)
With a recent (very welcome) shift in policy, Preparing for Life (preparing for adulthood) has become more widely recognised and valued across the system. The DfE’s curriculum and assessment review and forthcoming enrichment framework give more than a nod to longer term outcomes that sit outside of the traditional curriculum whilst the language of the new Ofsted framework and score cards are a big step forward in this space. Through a range of lightning talks, panel discussions and breakout conversations this session explores innovative approaches from both mainstream and specialist leaders in how they support learners to flourish beyond the school gates. We are also delighted to welcome young adults with real lived experience to share the good and bad bits from their journey.
