The Central Executive Committee has decided that the scheduled two day Principals’ and Deputy Principals’ Consultative Conference will be a virtual conference held using the ‘InEvent’ platform – for one day on Friday, 1 October, 2021.
The theme of this conference is Sustaining School Leadership and we believe this is an important opportunity for school leaders to express their views on a range of matters. The Principals’ and Deputy Principals’ Committee has conducted research with focus groups and one-to-one interviews in order to develop workshops on the theme, both in the context of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Delegates will attend two workshops and have the opportunity to contribute to the discussion groups on the day. The Keynote speaker is Declan Coyle, internationally renowned consultant in leadership development.
