The ninth National Boys’ Education Conference features an exciting range of keynote speakers and workshop presentations. These are designed to support teachers in the facilitation of sharp minds and soft hearts in the boys and young men they teach. Our keynote presenters will raise crucial questions about what it is to be a Strong Man in contemporary society and offer research and strategies to underpin teaching and learning. These keynotes will be complemented by a range of conference workshops, many presented by practitioners in boys’ schools, that focus on the themes of resilience, rigour, and relationships.
