About the Event

The Education Leadership Day brings together educational leaders and educators for a day of learning, reflection, and forward-thinking conversations about the future of teaching and learning. Featuring Dr. Heather Collins, cognitive neuroscientist, innovation curator, and peak performance expert, participants will explore how insights from brain science can help schools navigate change, strengthen leadership, and create conditions where both students and educators thrive.

The day includes a featured workshop with Dr. Collins for all attendees, along with breakout sessions designed for both educational leaders and classroom educators. Sessions will explore innovative practices, emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, instructional strategies, leadership approaches, and practical ideas that support meaningful learning and organizational growth.
