The National Teacher Conference will return in 2028!
Our National Teacher Conference is two days of inspiring presentations, provocative panels, live performance and enriching conversations about teaching and the teaching of Shakespeare in Australia.
Featuring a range of academics, teachers and Bell Shakespeare artists, this is an event that will nourish every teacher’s mind and soul. Treat yourself and join us in celebrating teachers and the incredible work that you do.
Held at Bell Shakespeare’s HQ in the spectacular Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, this is a renowned national gathering where we discuss innovative approaches, proven tips and tricks for classroom practice, and share stimulating ideas about Shakespeare. On Friday night, our special soirée returns as we celebrate teaching, connection and Shakespeare against the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
