Nina Jackson is an award winning educator, international speaker and author whose work is changing lives in schools across the world.
Affectionately known as ‘The Ninja who moves in mysterious ways’, Nina brings energy, honesty and emotional depth to every session, making a truly lasting impact on audiences of all kinds.
With a background in both mainstream and special needs education, Nina has worked in some of the most challenging classrooms in the UK and globally from Chile and Ghana to China. Her insight into what makes a school community thrive is rooted in decades of hands on experience as both a pedagogical and pastoral leader. She understands not only how to create great teaching and learning, but how to do it in a way that includes, uplifts and supports everyone.
Nina’s work in mental health and emotional wellbeing has been life changing for teachers, parents and young people alike. She has supported countless individuals through trauma and despair, offering practical strategies and compassionate guidance. Her talks are deeply moving, often covering traumatic personal experiences with incredible honesty and resilience. (Please note: some talks contain sensitive content which may be distressing for some delegates.)
What truly sets Nina apart is her philosophy: for learning to thrive, classrooms need both the ‘hard stuff’ rigour, structure and high expectations and the ‘fizz’ that magical spark of emotional connection, joy and passion for learning. It’s this sherbet lemon approach, as she calls it, that brings teaching to life and re energises those working in education.
A highly creative trainer, Nina also champions digital tools for inclusive learning. As an Apple Teacher and Book Creator Ambassador, she travels the world helping educators use accessible tech to enhance lessons, unlock creativity and engage learners who might otherwise be left behind.
She is the bestselling author of Of Teaching, Learning and Sherbet Lemons, a heartfelt and practical guide that has helped thousands of teachers rediscover their passion and purpose.
Whether she is leading a keynote, INSET day, twilight session or working directly with children in the classroom, Nina brings warmth, humanity, humour and a wealth of expertise. Her presence is unforgettable, and her impact long lasting.
For a speaker who moves in mysterious ways, you will know exactly where to look.
With years of leadership experience, Nina supports schools in building inclusive, caring and resilient communities. Her advice spans school policy, leadership behaviours and support structures that create sustainable wellbeing.
Nina offers inspiration and emotional support to teachers, school leaders and support staff. Her sessions provide a reset for those who are burnt out or close to giving up, leaving them refreshed and reconnected to their purpose.
Classrooms need both the ‘hard stuff’ – structure, systems and high expectations – and the ‘fizz’ – excitement, magic and emotional connection. Nina explores how to bring joy and passion back into teaching and learning.
As an Apple Teacher and Book Creator Ambassador, Nina shows how accessible technology can be used meaningfully to engage all learners. Her sessions highlight simple tools and strategies that teachers can start using immediately.
Nina helps teachers navigate the everyday challenges of modern classrooms. Her sessions focus on adapting pedagogy to suit changing needs, classroom dynamics and the individual child.
Drawing from her expertise in special needs education, Nina explores how to meet the needs of all learners. She focuses on practical, inclusive approaches that support SEND, gifted and talented pupils and those disengaged from education.
Nina shares powerful personal stories and proven strategies to support the emotional wellbeing of both students and staff. Her talks offer hope, guidance and practical approaches for creating mentally healthy school environments. (Trigger warning: some content includes traumatic life experiences.)
