Autistic spectrum conditions affect so many aspects of how a young person engages with school, their peers and teachers, and the process of learning. In this session we will explore what it means to have an autistic spectrum disorder and how high levels of anxiety cause huge barriers to progress and what we as individuals and whole schools can do about this.

This twilight session will further your knowledge of:

• the range of autistic spectrum conditions and associated behaviours
• Practical strategies to reduce anxiety and enable learning

You will also receive information resources to share with colleagues to maximise the impact of this training in your setting.

The Communication and Interaction Team (C&I) are delivering a workshop designed for school staff to develop their knowledge of and skills in supporting girls with autism, both pre- and post- diagnosis.

This conference will explore relational approaches that seek to meet the needs of all our learners, including children at risk.

A key Ofsted question is ‘Are your children able to learn?

Learning behaviours and wellbeing are intrinsically linked and the current Ofsted framework puts an increased focus on pupil well-being, behaviour and attitudes.

“Students who are anxious, angry or depressed don’t learn; people who are in these states do not take in information efficiently or deal with it well” – Daniel Goleman

This conference will explore relational approaches that seek to meet the needs of all our learners, including children at risk. Keynote speakers and workshop leaders will help you develop universal provision within your setting that will benefit key individuals and all other children through:

• Developing and maintaining threads of connection
• Establishing classroom steadiness through co-regulation
• Promoting a sense of calm in our learning environments

Join us for a webinar looking forward to NAHT’s Conference on Tuesday 18 May aimed at those of you new to headship - or working hard towards getting there.

We’ll be featuring some of the presenters we’ve got lined up to address the conference and asking them to give us a sneak preview of what’s on offer and what you can expect from the conference itself.

Our CPD for new and aspiring senior leaders has been formulated by successful and experienced senior leaders from all sectors. It provides sound foundations, so you return to your school refreshed and equipped to develop your vision or plan your pathway to headship, as well as prioritise the daily demands of your new role. You will enjoy hearing insights from practitioners and other experts, gain a picture of the changing educational landscape and consider ways to sustain your personal resilience throughout your career. There will be opportunities to network with other new school leaders and members of the NAHT team.

We provide the highest standards of support and advice throughout your time as a school leader - whether you will be leading in the early years, primary, secondary or special schools and alternative provision.

On becoming a new school leader, we know that you’ll have competing priorities; we think you should have the opportunity to develop your potential, which is why we are offering this conference at subsidised rates to members.

The conference is on 18th May 2021, click here to book.
