The event will offer a space for consideration and dialogue into the assumptions that underpin our conception of a ‘good’ teacher and consider how the teaching profession might reimagine inclusionAn approach where a school aims to ensure that all children are educated together, with support for those who require it to access the full curriculum and contribute to and participate in all aspects of school life beyond accommodation.

We are excited to announce a new opportunity for local Post 16 and careers leaders. On 9th June we will be running a free East Midlands HE and UCAS conference. This event is designed to support state school staff with the latest Higher Education and UCAS developments, including updates for 2026/27. There will be a variety of sessions including how to guide students in making competitive applications to Oxbridge and Medicine, as well as strategies to raise aspirations among disadvantaged students.
The roundtable will enable Empire Fighting Chance to explain its work more fully, and aims to be primarily a listening exercise to understand better the challenges faced by teachers in the classroom, understand whether there is any way their work can be practically supportive, (rather than an additional burden!) and if so, how this may work.
Across the day, leading experts in teaching, learning and school leadership will explore how classroom practice develops over time — and why it often drifts from what was intended. Through a combination of research, real classroom examples and inspection insight, sessions will focus on the decisions that matter most: how teachers design tasks, how they check understanding, how they adapt teaching, and how schools build this expertise across staff.
Assessment literacy is having the knowledge and skills to design and use effective formative and summative assessments. In this webinar we will explore the principles of good assessment and also the challenges of implementing assessment for different types of learning in primary schools. Robyn Heath will discuss the assessment of project-based learning, Dr Rebecca Clarkson will examine the assessment of writing in KS2, and Stephen Mitchell will explore assessment of and for oracy. We’ll cover themes such as how to support colleagues, building school culture of assessment and designing assessment to help all learners to thrive.
As part of your Fellowship at the Chartered College of Teaching, we are seeking to engage further with you, and provide the opportunity to network and share your experiences with other Fellows. The Fellow Sip and Share series will offer a brief opportunity to speak to other Fellows about pressing topics that you may be facing in your roles, and discuss solutions. This Fellow Sip and Share will discuss place-based partnerships.
Wouldn’t it be great if research could simply tell us what to do? However, research can only inform our judgement, not replace it. In this webinar, Dr Claire Badger will look at how an understanding of research evidence combined with knowledge of your own context and your personal experience can help you make better decisions. Packed with informative and quirky studies, you will leave inspired to implement evidence informed practice in your school or college.

This webinar explores these findings and the issues they highlight, asking what can be done to make leadership more sustainable across the UK?
In this study, we engage with maintenance and repair theory to explore the often invisible labour undertaken by teachers when they use GenAI outputs in their teaching practice. In this session, we will present results from an interview study with Swedish upper/lower secondary school teachers that demonstrate the tools inherent limitations and highlight the pedagogical, social, and moral dimensions of teaching practice.
