The role of teachers and the skills they require are changing as learner expectations and access to information grow. In addition, the balance of emphasis between knowledge acquisition and skills development is changing with a growing focus on 21st-century skills. 21st-century teachers have new opportunities to develop pedagogies which enable realisation of the potential of each learner, which work across subjects and disciplines, and which engage and motivate learners.

This session will focus on the professional development needs of 21st-century teachers, both in preparation for teaching and as they develop their practice.
