Tuesday 12 September 2017
14:30-17:30
COEX Convention & Exhibition Center : Grand Ballroom 104 3 hours
Organised by FIPEd
Chairs: Ian Bates (University College London, UK)
Introduction
This session will address the global impact of the FIPEd resources. Having the right evidence and information is vital to develop policy, monitor trends and evaluate progress. The current status of FIPEd projects will be presented. Participants will be invited to engage with the vision and strategic plans of FIPEd, through presentation of examples of the impact of FIPEd tools and evidence to help solve national challenges in education. They will join in a debate on how educational leadership can be translated into local visions for developing the profession. An important part of this session will be the congress launch of the 2017 Education Development Team Technical Report; past FIPEd technical reports have become important guidance and policy direction publications for members, member associations and a wider audience. All our reports and publications are available on the FIP website and are widely cited. This session will provide the opportunity for members and member organisations to see the results and impact of EDT work, to comment on them and provide ideas for further areas of interest. This session will be a mix of leading-edge presentations and participant engagement activities.
