Session synopsis: 

This informal session allows past, present, and potential LEADER expert panel members the time and space to meet with the ADEE office’s Quality Assurance and Projects Officer and one another. A short slide presentation is planned to familiarise attendees with the LEADER programme, the role and responsibilities of the panel member, and the tools in place to support panel member work. You will hear about schools currently participating in the LEADER programme and those that have had recent in-person and virtual visits. Ample time will be set aside for questions, to provide feedback, and to express interest in participating as an expert panel member.
