MindSpark invites educators, school leaders, professionals and researchers to an impactful half-day conference on Wednesday, 19th March, at our campus in Rainham.
This free event provides a unique opportunity to explore how fostering self-regulated learning, metacognition, and executive function skills can make schools more inclusive and empower students to succeed academically and personally.
This conference is designed for educators who want to support executive function development in schools and help students independently manage their learning and behaviour.
An Evidence-Based Approach
Discover how MindSpark’s whole-school approach helps young people overcome challenges linked to neurodivergence, trauma, and socio-economic disadvantage. Insights from the latest psychology and neuroscience research shed light on the cognitive skills that underpin behaviour and the importance of fostering positive relationships.
Armed with this knowledge, alongside an understanding that everyone has strengths and challenges, educators can cultivate greater compassion for students, colleagues, and themselves.
