The London and South East Great Teaching Conference

Join us for The Great Teaching Conference – an exceptional day of in-person professional development led by two leading voices in evidence-informed practice: Stuart Kime, Co-Founder and Director of Education at Evidence Based Education, and Adam Kohlbeck, Director of Teacher Quality at Chiltern Learning Trust.

This is a rare opportunity to spend a full day learning directly from experts who live and breathe the research on great teaching. Through a carefully curated programme grounded in the best available evidence, Stuart and Adam will guide you through what really makes a difference to pupil outcomes, cutting through fads and focusing on what works.

Expect far more than theory. You’ll engage with robust research, explore real-world examples, and take part in rich professional discussion. Every session is designed to translate evidence into action, giving you practical, “Monday morning ready” strategies you can implement immediately. The aim is simple: you leave with sharper knowledge, strengthened skills, and renewed motivation to refine your practice.

What you'll gain from attending

Across the day, we will:

• Examine the core components of great teaching and how to embed them consistently across classrooms.
• Explore what effective professional learning looks like — and how to make it work for all staff.
• Build fluency and flexibility by identifying and addressing misconceptions in curriculum knowledge.
• Unpack the research on teacher–student relationships, peer relationships, learner motivation, and cultures of high expectations.
• Analyse how routines, rules and high-quality resources can maximise every minute of learning.
• Consider how to ensure pupils think hard about the right things — and reduce the distractions and barriers that get in the way of deep learning.

Who should attend?

Whether you are a classroom teacher, middle leader, senior leader, working in a school, college or training setting, this conference will help you focus your time and energy where it matters most. It is a day of rigorous thinking, practical application, and purposeful professional dialogue — real substance, real expertise, and real value for money.

If you are committed to improving outcomes and want a research-rich, expertly led professional development experience, The Great Teaching Conference is for you.
