Under the guiding question ‘How can we make schools effective?’, this year’s School Management Conference offers practical insights from research and practice on how school leaders and coordinators can prioritise and manage their work amidst a flood of growing demands, in order to promote pupils’ personal development, strengthen the teaching staff and support the school community.

Following the opening lecture by Prof. Dr Klaus Zierer (University of Augsburg) on the topic ‘Visible Leadership – Leading Schools Effectively’ , we will offer in-depth insights into the following topics:

• Resource-oriented school development in situations of excessive pressure
• Professional relationship-building and social-emotional learning
• Mental resilience and healthy leadership
• Individual potential and personality development
• Relationships as the foundation of participation and democratic engagement
• Diversity management and partnerships in education and upbringing

Join us in looking forward to meeting our experts!
