Join our webinar to critically examine Learning Engineering in an AI-driven world. We’ll discuss how rapid advances in AI and generative tools are reshaping educational design, exploring whether Learning Engineering is the right approach today. Grounded in the Science of Learning, we’ll consider the promises and challenges of integrating AI, such as hyper-personalized learning, equity, […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
The future of teaching will be shaped by its capacity to innovate, and that innovation often begins in the classroom. As traditional educational models struggle to meet the needs of today’s learners, a growing movement is reimagining teaching as relationship-centered, metacognitive and something that is grounded in real-world problem-solving.
