Connected hubs: Using technology to reimagine professional development across borders

This session is aimed at school leaders, professional learning coordinators, and teachers seeking innovative approaches to professional development. It will explore a scalable model that combines local in-person networking with international collaboration through technology. Participants gather in regional hubs, reducing travel and accommodation costs while benefiting from global expertise and diverse perspectives.

The session will demonstrate how one hub can host and coordinate a professional learning event, incorporating keynote speakers, practitioner-led contributions, and interactive breakout discussions connecting educators across multiple locations. Attendees will learn how to establish hub networks, utilise technology effectively, encourage participant ownership, and create meaningful professional learning communities that transcend geographical boundaries.

Key takeaways include practical implementation strategies, technology considerations, cost-effective planning models, and approaches to sustaining international professional learning networks that increase access, collaboration, and impact.
