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.

Strategies That Make a Difference

MindSpark collaborates with educators to integrate neuroscience-informed strategies into teaching, fostering self-regulation, metacognition, motivation, and well-being. Positive outcomes include:

• Enhanced social connections
• Increased self-awareness
• Greater ownership of learning
• Improved academic outcomes
• Skills for life

Together, these skills create a foundation for future success.

What to Expect

• Practical strategies to support all learners, including those with neurodivergent profiles
• A framework for creating inclusive, compassionate classrooms
• Insights from neuroscience to enhance teaching practices
• Learn how to use coaching conversations to build self-regulation and support goal-directed behaviour
• Real-world case studies and collaborative discussions
• Networking with like-minded professionals passionate about inclusion and evidence-informed education

Date and Time: Wed, 19th March, 9.30 am–1 pm

Location: CEME Business Campus, Rainham, Essex, RM13 8EU
