The annual Esol Education Leadership Meeting was held this year in March, hosted at Esol’s Fairgreen International School in Dubai. The event saw the heads of ten Esol Education Schools  from across the globe gather together with the Executive Board and Esol team members to discuss student achievement, teacher professional development, growth and assessment, job-alike sessions and curriculum development. Individual schools presented education best practices, while we heard about the exciting changes that artificial intelligence will rapidly bring to the world of international education. These annual meetings offer school leaders a unique opportunity to learn, grow and network with their fellow leaders, gain invaluable insights into the current education landscape, as well as forecast future trends.
