LfPL Symposium | History

The Leadership for Professional Learning Symposium originated from the International Teacher Leadership Conference in Miami, Florida in 2017, which aimed to empower educators to influence change within their own contexts.

In 2019, the event travelled to Cambridge, UK, and was renamed the Leadership for Professional Learning Symposium (LfPL). This event brought together educators from across the globe to engage in conversations, share success, address challenges and raise questions from their local contexts.

In 2021, the first virtual LfPL took place, this time focused on leadership within technology-enhanced professional learning spaces. The most recent symposium was held at Dublin City University in 2022, and the theme was Leadership for Professional Learning in Complex Times: Asking New Questions

The symposium is designed to bring together practitioners, researchers, and administrators and provide a forum in which a rich variety of perspectives can be shared. The event fosters connections between cultural, professional, and academic backgrounds – where administrators from the UK connect with academics from Qatar, teachers from India connect with policy-makers from the US and more.
