About the event
How do we create classrooms where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to thrive? The Diverse Learners stream explores how educators can meet the needs of students with a wide range of learning profiles, backgrounds, and challenges—moving beyond traditional “special needs” models to embrace inclusive, strengths-based approaches.

Jade will be speaking as part of the Diverse Learners Symposium on Friday 14th May, 2026.
10:00 – 10:40pm: Jade Wong, Author, The Learning Support Hub
