Setting up your EfL journey for success: learning and sharing with other schools	- We'd like to create an opportunity for new and experienced schools to come together, share and learn from each other about how to get successfully up and running with EfL and start to embed it across school in all relevant areas or learning and development. The meeting will focus on the basics and building a strong foundation for using EfL. - The event will include a presentation from Darren Jones who is an Assistant Head Teacher at Oakwood Academy in Manchester. Oakwood Academy have been using EfL for a little over a year and Darren will share the school's journey and outline how they have embedded the use of EfL across the school during that time.	RECORDING

Using EfL to develop conversation around Engagement	- This event is aimed at practitioners and leaders who want to explore with colleagues from other schools how EfL can be used to support the use of the Engagement model - in particular, how the app can facilitate conversations around Engagement that can help to develop personalisation of interventions, strategies and teaching... ultimately leading to improved pupil outcomes. - We are delighted to be joined by our Principal Adviser, Barry Carpenter OBE who will to co-host the event. Barry Carpenter has a career spanning over 40 years. His appointments include Professor of Mental Health in Education to Oxford Brookes University, and Honorary Professorships at universities in Ireland, Germany and Australia, as well as Principal, Chief Executive, and National Director for Complex Needs at the Government Department for Education. - Interestingly, in relation to this session, whilst in his role as National Director for Complex Needs, Barry led an important and valuable piece of research on the use of Engagement as a pedagogy. This work become the foundation for England’s Department for Education’s new guidance for assessment (DfE, 2019). - There will be a presentation from Alex Revens, the SENDCo & Specialist Leader of Education for Autism at Belmont School in Harrow. Alex gave a presentation sharing how he and his team use EfL in relation to Engagement and what has been the impact of evaluating and assessing Engagement on teaching and pedagogy. - As a Specialist Leader in Education, Alex supports other settings, including senior leadership teams, whole school teams and teaching staff in their provision for pupils on Autism spectrum. This involves advising on the strategic leadership of SEND within settings, developing inclusive Autism-appropriate environments within classrooms and instilling an Autism accepting culture within schools. He also leads the NQT Autism training as part of the local authority programme.	RECORDING
How to Talk with Children and Young People About War \| Understanding and Supporting our Refugee Children Led by Dr Tina Rae	- At this current time, we are all hugely distressed by the images of the war in Ukraine and particularly of the children and their families fleeing the bombardment and seeking refuge and escape from the horror and trauma of war. - Many in our schools are getting ready to welcome in these children and young people and considering ways in which they can best support this transition and nurture their families within our communities. - Tina will highlight specific strategies that you can use to support our refugee children as they transition, to ensure that they feel safe and welcomed. There are a number of evidence-based strategies that can easily be adopted and shared. She will also highlight ways in which we can prepare the children who are in our school communities to welcome their refugee friends, and also identify the best and safest ways to discuss the war with our children and young people. - It is hoped that this webinar will demystify some of the concerns that people may have and provide you with confidence and reassurance you need to undertake this task effectively. - There would also be an opportunity to discuss the presentation and a Q&A session for delegates to participate in.
