Dan Dempsey Email & Phone Number

I am a highly experienced educational leader, motivated by a desire to promote an educational system with enhanced innovation, engagement and curiosity where my own and other children can thrive.My path has been forged through a successful 20-year career in education and school leadership in both Australia and the United Kingdom, notably in a range of Principal and Deputy Principal roles across varied primary school contexts. This had led to significant experience providing professional learning, coaching and mentoring to teachers and leaders.I have a passion for building the capacity of schools, teams and systems to embed effective and innovative teaching, learning and assessment. I combine a deep understanding of curriculum and pedagogy, with experience implementing and leading STEM initiatives, Project-Based Learning, inquiry and design thinking.In my role as Director of Professional Learning at Future Anything, I use my extensive experience to provide targeted and bespoke support to empower schools, as well as facilitate the suite of teacher professional development programs, with the aim of providing educators the knowledge and skills to embed future-focussed learning experiences. Recently returning from face to face workshops in Spain, my current priorities include leadership of Future Anything's global partnership in the Impact Driven Entrepreneurship Education for Children (IDEEC) Project, a large scale international collaboration driving entrepreneurship education in schools.As a keen runner and healthy lifestyle advocate, I bring the discipline, work ethic and mental strength learned from training for a marathon to my personal and professional endeavours.
