EIS PACT Programme – Anti-Poverty Professional Learning Offer Sessions
The EIS PACT Programme forms part of our continued commitment to addressing poverty and its impact on education through high-quality professional learning.
The programme comprises three structured sessions exploring the nature, causes, and consequences of poverty, and examining how these factors influence learners’ experiences and outcomes.
Throughout November and December, we invite both current members engaged with PACT and new participants to join us. If you have previously attended a PACT session, there is no need to register for Module 1.
In addition to the core sessions offered across November and December, a PACT network session online will be held ahead of the Christmas holidays, focusing for all holiday hunger and poverty in the context of Christmas with a guest speaker and an opportunity for reflection and discussion.
We'd be delighted if you would join us for this.
Further dates for 2026 will be released soon for a repeat of all modules. If you would like the PACT team to deliver sessions in your school or local association, please get in touch — we are happy to work with you to plan bespoke anti-poverty professional learning session tailored to your context and school setting.
Please use the links below to register for the modules and network session.
