Hosted at Rydge’s Port Macquarie, the 2026 Teaching School Learning Forum will continue the vital conversation on sustaining and strengthening the education workforce. This two-day forum will bring together educators, school leaders, researchers, and aspiring teachers to share evidence-informed practices, spark new ideas, and deepen connections across the teaching profession.
The 2026 Teaching School Learning Forum is a dynamic two-day event designed to ignite ideas, inspire innovation, and equip educators at every level with tools to address today’s workforce challenges. Whether you are a school leader, mentor teacher, or initial teacher education (ITE) student, this is your opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue, explore evidence-informed strategies, and join a growing community committed to sustainable, impactful teaching.
This forum is more than professional learning, it is a catalyst for lasting change. You will explore:
- Career pathways that draw the best into teaching and retain them.
- Supportive school cultures that fuel teacher satisfaction and student success.
- Workload and wellbeing practices to ensure longevity and joy in the profession.
The 2026 forum will once again offer three tailored streams, allowing participants to engage in deep, role-specific learning while also coming together for shared keynote sessions that inspire whole-system thinking. Whether you are designing a workforce strategy, mentoring future teachers, or stepping into the classroom, you will walk away with insights and ideas ready for immediate application.
