Professionally Speaking 2026: Exploring learner behaviour and the power of physical activity
Professionally Speaking 2026: Exploring learner behaviour and the power of physical activity

Wednesday 21 January 2026, 16:00–17:30, Zoom

Across all settings, behaviour remains a topic that consistently tests educators’ resilience and creativity. Low-level disruption, emotional regulation, disengagement, and the growing pressures on learner wellbeing have all been widely reported.

In Professionally Speaking 2026, Professor Kelly Mackintosh of Swansea University explored this pressing challenge and the potential role physical activity can play in supporting positive behaviour and wellbeing.

Following the keynote presentation, attendees had the opportunity to share their own experiences and put questions directly to Professor Mackintosh in a live Q&A.
