SUMMARY:FREE Edurio Book Club: Learning As If Life Depended On It - 10 February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learning As If Life Depended on It\nIn an exclusive live discussion\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen\, Director General of the International Baccalaureate\, joins Ernest Jenavs\, co-founder at Edurio to discuss his newly published book\, Learning As If Life Depended on It (November 2025). \nThis is a rare opportunity for international school leaders to engage directly with one of the sector’s most influential figures immediately following the release of this ground-breaking work. \nInternational school leaders face a complex\, rapidly changing landscape. From climate issues to technological shifts\, traditional methods of control and scheduling are often no longer enough to prepare students for the future. \n  \nIn this session\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen draws on his extensive experience to explore how schools can adapt. He will discuss why we need to move beyond rigid systems to meet the needs of a modern world. \nEdurio CEO Ernest Jenavs will join the discussion to connect these ideas to reality. Using global data\, they will examine how trust and wellbeing\, rather than control\, drive sustainable success in schools. \nThis session is a strategic dialogue rather than a standard book review. Olli-Pekka will share practical insights from his new book\, challenging us to rethink how we lead. \nTogether with Ernest Jenavs\, he will discuss how you can navigate uncertainty in your schools. We will focus on replacing anxiety with systems built on genuine connection and collective learning. We invite you to ask your own questions and explore what actually works in practice. \nYou’ll take away \n\nLeadership insights from Olli-Pekka Heinonen on the changing role of global education.\nPractical ways to rethink how school communities learn and live together.\nStrategies to build trust and wellbeing\, moving away from heavy-handed measurement.\nData-backed insights from Ernest Jenavs\, linking Olli-Pekka’s philosophy to the lived experience of staff and pupils.\n\nRegister here to attend this session: https://home.edurio.com/events/book-club-with-olli-pekka-heinonen/ \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nOlli-Pekka Heinonen\nDirector General of the International Baccalaureate \nA global authority on education systems\, Olli-Pekka Heinonen has served as Director General of the International Baccalaureate (IB) since 2021. Previously\, he led the Finnish National Agency for Education and served as State Secretary to the Finnish Prime Minister. His political career includes tenures as Minister of Education and Science and Minister of Transport and Communication. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nErnest Jenavs – Co-founder and CEO at Edurio \nErnest is the CEO of Edurio\, England’s leading stakeholder feedback platform for schools and school trusts. He is a frequent public speaker both in the UK and internationally on the effective use of stakeholder feedback in schools and has published extensive research on stakeholder feedback\, staff wellbeing and school improvement. \n\n\n\n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.

SUMMARY:FREE! Mighty Writer CPD webinar “ The Language Launchpad: Building Strong Foundations in Early Literacy" 12th January 2026
DESCRIPTION:The leap from speaking in a sentence to writing one is enormous – and for many young children\, it’s the toughest challenge they’ll face in school. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how to create a powerful Language Launchpad: a structured\, supportive environment where early writing skills can truly take off. \nYou’ll discover practical\, hands-on strategies that help children internalise the structure of a story long before they pick up a pencil. \nWe’ll cover: \n🎯 Structuring the Chaos: Transform rambling thoughts into clear\, confident sentences.\n🎯 Visual Literacy: Harness symbols and story mats to bridge the gap between oracy and writing.\n🎯 Inclusive Foundations: Approaches that work for every learner—from chatterboxes to non-verbal communicators.\n🎯 Stop the stumbles before they start. Build a foundation that lasts. \n  \nWe do hope you can join us\, or please do pass on to a colleague. Each webinar will be recorded for those who register along with a CPD certificate of attendance and any relevant resources to support you in the teaching of writing. \nPlease register here for this opportunity to share best practice. \n🔊 Speaker: Emma Ralph\, Founder\, Mighty Writer. \n✨ Emma Ralph is a highly experienced teacher and Assistant Head with a flair for helping children to maximise their abilities. \n✨ Emma developed the highly-acclaimed literacy resource\, Mighty Writer\, which was launched at The Education Show in 2016. \nRegistration link: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/390e26b3-fe4f-48b4-b8bd-88f210a4c412@8ac6952a-ef26-4118-b781-35d616360bfc \n  \nDisclaimer \nThis training is organised by an external organisation and Louise Dawson Professional Development and Management Training cannot accept any liability or responsibility for the content or quality of the training. \nPayment is made directly with the external training partner and any conversation about delivery of the training\, payment\, refunds\, etc should be addressed directly to the external company. \nIf you have concerns about any content of the training then please let us know so we can raise them with the training provider on behalf of all delegates/attendees.
