Equipping Teachers in Mainstream, PRUs, and Alternative Provisions to Foster Purpose and Safer School Environments.
This webinar, presented by Life Lessons in partnership with the London VRU, offers practical, evidence-based strategies for secondary school teachers across mainstream, pupil referral units (PRUs), and alternative provisions to address violence, improve student behaviour, and cultivate a sense of purpose. Learn how to effectively support all young people, particularly those at risk of exclusion, in exploring positive alternative pathways.
Curriculum and school culture are central to all we do in schools but often one is seen to drive the other. In this session, colleagues at St Ebbes Primary School will tell you their story of how their courageous curriculum choices have contributed to a joyful culture in their school and how they did this.
Known the world over for his daily child development lessons on social media, Dr. Wuori will explore common misconceptions about the early years and make the case for why our experiences during early childhood influence our success - not only in school - but for a lifetime.
PISA for Schools is an OECD assessment that evaluates 15-year-old performance on reading, mathematics, and science. It also gathers insights into students’ learning environment, engagement and well-being, offering schools valuable data that help them benchmark performance internationally and improve education outcomes. A central ambition, and ongoing challenge, has been translating these insights into meaningful actions that drives lasting school improvement.
This webinar will build on the challenge by bringing together school leaders and educators to talk about how participating schools in the initiative are already using their reports to guide real change. From supporting student well-being to reshaping school practices, we’ll discuss how PISA for Schools empowers educators to address challenges with evidence-based strategies.
In order to support the work of the Teaching Commission, we are running a series of roundtables. These will be an opportunity for Fellows and members to engage with topics discussed at the meetings of the Teaching Commission and to get their voices heard. Roundtables will typically take place a day before the official meeting of the Teaching Commission and will be attended by at least one member of the commission who will feed back discussions to the commission.
The fifth online roundtable in this series will focus on Teachers and how we can support their impact in schools. What can be done to ensure teachers are able to engage in purposeful learning with their students, raising the standards for all and feeling that they as teachers have a meaningful role in schools. It will be chaired by Angelina Idun. It will take place on 19th June, 4-5pm.
Join us for the highly anticipated PRUsAP Conference 2025, taking place on Friday, 20th June 2025, from 10am to 4pm at Wey Valley College, Guildford (GU2 7XZ). This is an unmissable opportunity for professionals working in PRUs and Alternative Provision to come together, share best practices, and engage with sector leaders through insightful keynote presentations and interactive workshops.
What kind of teaching do we need for the future we want? As global expectations for learners rise, so too do the demands placed on our teachers. While many education systems focus on what students should learn to thrive in an uncertain future, they also need to consider how to best support teachers so they, in turn, can help their students grow. That’s where our Teaching Compass comes in. It supplements the OECD Learning Compass, which set out a bold vision of student learning for the future.
In this webinar Sarah Chicken and Alison Porter will discuss the approaches they have used to develop innovative pedagogic practice in primary and early years settings. Their projects took place against a backdrop of policy change. In Wales, children’s participative rights are now part of the early years curriculum framework; in England, learning a Modern Foreign Language has become part of primary KS2. In conversation with Sinead Harmey and Bernadette Holmes, they will reflect on the role of classroom-based research in supporting professional development and the conditions that facilitate or hinder this.
ASE Teacher Developers Conference kindly sponsored by Ogden Trust, is our showpiece event for all those involved in teacher development, including initial teacher education, curriculum development, subject leadership and professional development. The conference is a collaboration between three ASE membership groups: the Teacher Developers’ Committee, Research Group and Policy Group. Through keynotes, workshops and discussion, we will explore how we influence policy and practice through a socially active curriculum, through the professional development of teachers, curriculum design, and through researching pedagogy and teacher education.
Creativity and The Arts offer pathways to inclusion across the curriculum.
