Be Challenged

A Differentiated Approach to Leadership:

Educators are accustomed to differentiating in their classroom, but how often have we considered creative and different ways for students to understand leadership? How do we best inspire all students to exhibit leadership qualities, leveraging their personal strengths and gifts, when only a few can be afforded a leadership title or portfolio?

11.10 – 11.30am

Consent Labs

Consent and Respectful Relationships

In this Round Table Discussion, we will help answer some tricky student questions educators are often asked on consent. “What if both people were drinking at a party?” or “Do I have to ask for consent every single time?” or even “What does the law actually say, would I get in trouble if XYZ?”. Our team will offer some helpful tips, tricks, and frameworks that can be utilised in the classroom. Plus, free (and fun) Classroom Posters for all attendees!
