Symposium-in-a-box
Your school's annual teaching & learning showcase — induction, professional development, recognition and celebration in one event. Run it yourself with the kit, or have us facilitate it end to end. It captures no attendee data.
No attendee data captured. Stateless by design.
Repeatable. A kit, not a one-off.
Built on your own people's work.
What it is
A school symposium is the rare event that does four jobs at once: it inducts new and sessional staff into the school's teaching culture, delivers professional development through shared practice, surfaces work that's ready for recognition, and celebrates the people doing it. Symposium-in-a-box gives you everything to run one well — without it becoming a term's worth of admin.

It plugs into your dashboard
The
School Dashboard already knows your school's strengths, gaps and recognition-ready staff — the symposium is where that becomes a room full of people. Showcase the works, run PD on the gaps, and spotlight those ready for
Fellowship. Induction, development and recognition, in one afternoon.
