Long Bay College is thrilled to be hosting researchED New Zealand in 2026 – and we’d love for you to be part of it!
WHAT IS researchED?
researchED is a global grassroots movement that connects educational research with classroom practice. It brings together teachers, academics, and policymakers to share evidence-informed ideas in a collaborative, accessible setting. Long Bay College is proud to host researchED New Zealand 2026, a day of rigorous and relevant professional learning for educators across all sectors, including primary, intermediate, secondary and tertiary.
What's on
The day will feature keynotes, breakout sessions, and a panel discussion. Our presenters are being confirmed — stay tuned! We’ll be announcing speakers over the coming weeks.
