European School Heads Association 2025 Conference: Rome, Italy
October 27th to 31st, 2025 – www.esha.org
First, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the CAP Board of Directors for supporting our participation at this year’s European School Heads Association (ESHA) Conference in Rome, Italy. It quickly became clear that ESHA is an international organization with which CAP should continue to grow a strong relationship. The opening keynote speaker framed the week by identifying the five biggest challenges facing educational leadership today:
• Recruitment and retention of teachers
• AI integration
• Inclusion
• Personal and staff well-being
• Parent engagement (both limited and overwhelming)
