The three-day conference provided an invaluable platform for teachers from across the region to collaborate, share best practices, and gain fresh insights to bring back to their classrooms.

A transformative experience for BIS Hanoi educators

The conference offered educators from BIS Hanoi an opportunity to engage with peers, explore forward-thinking teaching strategies, and strengthen their approach to student learning.

"It’s challenging to pinpoint a single focus given the wide range of workshops, but a key theme that emerged was the growing recognition of nurturing soft skills—like collaboration and perseverance—at all stages of schooling. At BIS Hanoi, we already place great importance on these skills alongside core subjects, and we remain committed to enriching both our academic and co-curricular programmes." - Mr. Richard Vaughan, Principal of BIS Hanoi shared.

Driving innovation in teaching and learning

Nord Anglia Education places continuous professional development at the heart of its strategy, ensuring educators have the tools and knowledge to enhance student learning. The conference explored AI in education, neurodiversity, inclusive leadership, and other key topics shaping the future of teaching.

The event also focused on Nord Anglia’s groundbreaking research into metacognition—helping students develop an awareness of their learning processes to improve problem-solving and critical thinking.

“Through leadership discussions at the conference, our academic teams explored how to apply Nord Anglia’s latest research on metacognition," said Rob Walls, Head of Middle East Schools at Nord Anglia. "By embedding metacognitive strategies in the classroom, we help students develop the skills to become independent, self-directed learners. In offering a forward-thinking education, we are supporting skills development with our Nord Anglia educational framework centred around the continuous growth of the 6 Cs—ensuring our students evolve into critical, creative, committed, and curious learners, while collaborating compassionately both in and outside the classroom."

It was also a fantastic chance to network with other passionate professionals, exchange ideas, and bring back fresh perspectives that will benefit both our staff and students”, Ms. Rebecca Carroll, Head of Primary at BIS Hanoi shared.
