SUMMARY:Beyond the Vibe: Taking Your AI-Assisted App Development to the Next Level
DESCRIPTION:Join leading AI specialist Darren Coxon to explore how 2025s word of the year “vibe-coding” has taken the world by storm. \nThis course will ease beginners into AI coding. By the end of the day you will have everything you need to take your vibe coding to the next level\, and future courses will build on these firm foundations. There has never been a better time to build your own solutions with AI safely and securely. This introductory day shows you where to start! \nVibe-coding has taken the world by storm – so much so that it was 2025’s word of the year. But what is it and how do you get started? Vibe coding uses AI agents to write the computer code for you\, leaving you to work as project manager and overall architect. You can now build complex\, full-stack applications with zero coding experience in a fraction of the time (and at a tiny fraction of the cost) of hiring a team of developers. \nHowever\, without the right tools and workflow you’ll soon come unstuck. Building anything more than simple microsites takes meticulous planning\, discipline and patience to keep on top of multiple workstreams and keep the whole build safe and error-free. This intensive\, one day course will provide you with the foundations for success: from an overview of the platforms used through to step-by-step guides to the optimal workflows\, by the end you will have both an excellent understanding of the AI coding environment and will have built your own simple\, secure chatbot application. \nThis course is suitable for anyone who has a good understanding of generative AI: but you do not need to have any coding / development experience.  Participants will have free access to Claude Max for the day to enable sufficient use of Claude Code during the training. Once you have enrolled on the course we will send you a list of the other free platforms you will need to have signed up to / downloaded in preparation for the day\, so that we can get off to a flying start. \nThe day will include: \n\nHow to use Google Gemini to take your initial ideas and turn them into working development documents\nSetting up your integrated development environment (IDE) to make the most of Claude Code\nOther necessary tools – agents and MCPs\nThe Claude Code development workflow\nHow to debug without losing your hair (or marbles)\nSimple backend integrations via API\nThe Github workflow and how to deploy online\n\n  \nThis is a unique\, course is for anyone interested in serious vibing\, and will significantly accelerate your AI-assisted development skills\, moving you well beyond no-code apps like Lovable\, Manus\, and Canva Code. \n

SUMMARY:The Science of Learning in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:The science of how people learn is growing more rapidly now than at any previous time in history. We now know far more about how attention\, memory\, motivation and understanding really work. Yet turning this research from cognitive science and related fields into everyday practice in schools and colleges remains a challenge – partly because many teachers and lecturers haven’t had the chance to engage deeply with the research\, and partly because applying these principles in busy\, complex learning environments isn’t straightforward. \nThis two-day workshop\, delivered by Doug Lemov and the Teach Like a Champion team\, is designed to give staff in schools and colleges the time\, structure and support to bridge that gap between research and practice. The team bring deep expertise in both the science of learning and what high-quality teaching looks like across a wide range of educational settings. \nWe’ll begin by building a clear and usable mental model of learning that teachers and lecturers can draw on when making day-to-day decisions. The focus will be on key areas of research\, including attention\, perception\, encoding\, retrieval and motivation\, and what these mean for effective lesson design\, classroom routines and learning experiences in both school and college contexts. \nAcross the two days\, the session will move deliberately from theory to practice. Through video analysis\, discussion and guided reflection\, participants will explore how educators translate these ideas into concrete teaching moves. There will be structured opportunities to practise\, rehearse and refine techniques\, with a strong emphasis on approaches that are realistic\, impactful and transferable across schools\, colleges and post-16 settings. \nSchools and colleges will also have the option to purchase the Implementation Toolkit\, which includes all workshop materials alongside additional training resources to support sustained implementation and whole-organisation development beyond the two days. \nWho should attend? \nThis two-day workshop is designed for professionals working across schools and colleges who want to strengthen their understanding of how learning really works and improve everyday classroom practice. It is particularly well suited to: \n\nTeachers and lecturers at all stages of their career\nMiddle and senior leaders responsible for teaching and learning\nHeads of department\, curriculum and subject leads\nInstructional coaches and mentors\nTeacher educators and those leading professional development\nCollege leaders and managers overseeing quality\, pedagogy and learner outcomes\n\n  \nWhether you work in a school or a college setting\, this workshop will support you to make more informed instructional decisions and translate the science of learning into practical\, high-impact teaching. \nHow to book? \nThis two-day workshop is priced at £499 per person. \nAttendees will also have the option to purchase the Implementation Toolkit\, providing access to all workshop materials alongside additional resources to support implementation and ongoing professional development back in your school or college. \nThis is an exclusive opportunity to engage deeply with the science of learning over two days\, with a strong focus on practical application and real classroom impact. \nGroup discounts are available for bookings of three or more delegates\, making this an excellent option for departments or leadership teams attending together. For further information on group bookings\, speak to our team. \nInvoices are available on request. \nVenue? \nThis event will take place at University House\, Business School\, University of Birmingham \nGroup bookings are available.

SUMMARY:AI and Assessment: Making it work for all
DESCRIPTION:Join leading education expert Daisy Christodoulou for a focused and thought-provoking training day exploring the realities of AI in assessment and what schools must do to respond effectively. \nThis course is structured around three linked sessions that move from understanding to challenges to solutions. \nThe day begins with the big picture: what AI can and cannot do\, providing a clear\, accessible overview of AI and large language models\, their strengths and limitations\, and the current good and bad uses of AI in education. You will also explore how AI is likely to develop in the coming years and the key barriers and complexities that will shape its improvement. \nThe second session\, AI and assessment: the challenges\, examines the profound implications AI has for current assessment practices\, with a focus on extended written assessments. You will explore the problems AI poses for reliable summative grading\, the difficulties of using AI to provide high-quality formative feedback\, and the growing issue of AI plagiarism and its impact on traditional homework and assessment models. \nThe final session\, AI and Assessment: the solutions\, focuses on practical responses. Bring your laptop as this will be a hands-on session where you will gain an in-depth understanding of No More Marking’s new AI features for extended written assessments. You will take part in Comparative Judgement of real student writing\, see if you agree with the AI\, evaluate the effectiveness of different types of automated feedback\, and understand how you can use all of these features in your school. \nThroughout the day\, participants will gain a realistic\, evidence-informed understanding of how AI can be used thoughtfully and responsibly in schools\, without undermining learning\, assessment or professional judgement. \nWho should attend? \n\nSenior leaders and headteachers shaping assessment and AI strategy\nClassroom teachers navigating AI’s impact on marking and feedback\, particularly teachers of subjects with large amounts of written assessment\nAssessment leads\nEdTech and digital strategy leads\nSuitable for primary\, secondary and FE.\n\n  \nWhether you are at the very beginning of your AI journey or already grappling with its impact in your school\, this course will provide clarity\, practical insight and concrete solutions. \nLimited spaces available\, book now to secure your place. \nGroup discounts are available.

SUMMARY:Formative Action: From Assessment to Action
DESCRIPTION:Schools and colleges across Europe and beyond are increasingly rethinking their approach to Formative Assessment and many are turning towards the rapidly growing Formative Action model. \nLed by internationally recognised educator and trainer Valentina Devid\, this highly practical workshop explores one of the most exciting developments currently shaping teaching\, learning and curriculum design in schools and colleges. A regular speaker at the Festival of Education and a much in-demand trainer across the Netherlands\, Valentina has worked with teachers\, middle leaders and senior leadership teams internationally to help organisations build more coherent\, curriculum-led approaches to learning. Her work is attracting significant attention because it responds directly to challenges many schools and colleges are currently facing: overloaded curricula\, disconnected assessment practices\, inconsistent feedback systems and growing pressure to improve learner outcomes in meaningful\, sustainable ways. \nFormative Action aligns closely with the WalkThrus approach to instructional coaching and professional learning. Valentina collaborates with WalkThrus on the design and delivery of sessions exploring how Formative Action and WalkThrus can work together effectively within classrooms\, departments and whole-organisation improvement strategies. \nFrom data to decisions. From activities to action. From assessment to pedagogy rooted in curriculum. \nMany schools and colleges have invested heavily in formative assessment strategies: mini whiteboards\, exit tickets\, low-stakes quizzes\, retrieval tasks and feedback protocols. In many organisations these approaches have become embedded within teaching and learning policies and quality assurance frameworks. Yet despite this investment\, a common challenge remains\, the curriculum itself often stays untouched. \nWhy? Because techniques alone rarely transform learning. \nToo often\, Formative Assessment becomes a collection exercise rather than a driver of instructional decision-making. Information is gathered\, but teaching doesn’t meaningfully adapt in response. Departments continue through schemes of work regardless of whether learners are genuinely secure in their understanding. \nFormative Action offers a different approach. \nRather than starting with activities or assessment tools\, it starts with curriculum intent and pedagogical purpose. It asks: \n\nWhat do learners need to master by the end of this unit\, topic or programme?\nWhere are they now\, really?\nWhat is the most meaningful next step and how should teaching respond?\n\n  \nThis shift is about much more than changing terminology. It is about helping schools and colleges create greater alignment between curriculum\, teaching\, assessment and feedback. \nWhen these elements work together coherently\, teachers and leaders can move away from reactive teaching towards a model built on foresight\, responsiveness and purposeful curriculum delivery. \nWhy are schools and colleges moving from Formative Assessment to Formative Action? \nFor many educators\, the term “Formative Assessment” has become increasingly diluted. It is often interpreted as informal testing\, feedback without grades\, or simply completing a “formative activity” before a summative assessment. While these practices may have value\, they do not always influence what happens next in the learning process. \nFormative Action reframes the process entirely. \nIt is not another initiative\, checklist or standalone strategy. It is a pedagogical design principle\, a short-cycle process where teachers and learners co-regulate learning through purposeful evidence gathering within a carefully sequenced curriculum framework. \nThis means: \n\nNo more feedback for the sake of feedback\nNo more assessment activities disconnected from curriculum goals\nNo more “formative” tasks that fail to influence future teaching\nGreater consistency between departments and teaching teams\nMore meaningful conversations around learner progress and curriculum planning\n\n  \nIt is this clarity and coherence that has made Formative Action both rigorous and sustainable\, and why it is rapidly gaining traction in schools and colleges internationally. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is designed for professionals working across schools\, sixth forms and colleges\, including: \n\nTeachers and classroom practitioners\nCurriculum and subject leaders\nHeads of department and faculty leads\nInstructional coaches and teaching & learning leads\nSEND and learning support teams\nAssistant principals\, deputy heads and senior leaders\nAssessment and quality improvement leads\n\n  \nWhether your organisation is reviewing assessment practice\, strengthening curriculum design\, developing instructional coaching\, or seeking greater consistency in teaching and learning\, this workshop will provide practical frameworks and immediately applicable strategies. \nWhat you will take away \nBy attending this session\, you will: \n\nGain a clear and practical understanding of the three strategies of Formative Action and when to use each purposefully\nExplore templates and examples grounded in real curriculum sequences from schools and colleges\nLearn how to align teaching\, feedback and curriculum\, even in content-heavy and exam-focused subjects\nStrengthen pedagogical decision-making across teams and departments\nUnderstand how Formative Action can work alongside instructional coaching models such as WalkThrus\nDevelop approaches that support sustainable school and college improvement\nHave dedicated time to bring your own curriculum challenges and implementation questions\nReceive ongoing support through a dedicated Formative Action space within EduScape CPD\, the professional learning community from EducationScape\n\n  \nThis is far more than another workshop on Formative Assessment techniques. It is an opportunity for schools and colleges to engage with a model that is quickly reshaping conversations around curriculum\, pedagogy and responsive teaching internationally. \nBook your place before the end of May to receive a 15% early booking discount. Group bookings for schools\, trusts and colleges are available. Contact the team via email to discuss organisational packages and team attendance.

SUMMARY:Making Explicit Direct Instruction Work
DESCRIPTION:“I’ve read the research\, but I worry that Explicit Direct Instruction will be boring. And… what does it actually look like when it’s done well?” \nIf that sounds familiar\, you’re in very good company. The evidence behind Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) is strong and growing\, yet many teachers remain hesitant to use it in practice. Not because they doubt the research\, but because they haven’t seen enough clear\, compelling examples of what great EDI really looks like in a live classroom – or how it can feel purposeful\, responsive and genuinely engaging for learners. \nThis practical\, insight-rich workshop will be delivered by Doug Lemov from Teach Like a Champion\, one of the most influential voices in evidence-informed teaching. Drawing on his extensive work with teachers and schools around the world\, Doug will help bridge the gap between research and day-to-day classroom practice. \nTogether\, we’ll take the research out of the abstract and bring it to life\, analysing video footage from real classrooms in both the US and England. You’ll see how expert teachers use EDI to create lessons that are dynamic rather than dull\, structured yet flexible\, and engaging for students at every stage. \nYou’ll explore how EDI\, when done well\, actively involves learners\, builds confidence and leads to stronger outcomes. We’ll focus on how teachers maintain pace\, energy and participation\, while still being crystal clear about what students are learning and why. \nA key focus of the session will be the Alternating Principle – a powerful way of designing EDI lessons that keep students thinking\, responding and practising throughout. You’ll see how carefully planned alternation between teacher input and student activity helps ideas stick\, supports understanding\, and prevents lessons from becoming passive or monotonous. \nWe’ll also look closely at the role of visuals in EDI. You’ll learn how to optimise slides\, boards and worked examples so they genuinely support learning rather than distract from it. Finally\, we’ll explore how Explicit Direct Instruction can be combined with Retrieval Practice to strengthen long-term memory\, ensuring that learning lasts well beyond the lesson itself. \nYou’ll leave with a much clearer mental model of high-quality EDI\, practical strategies you can use straight away\, and the confidence to make explicit instruction not just effective\, but engaging\, purposeful and memorable for your students. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is designed for teachers and leaders across schools and colleges who want to strengthen classroom practice using evidence-informed approaches and see exactly how they work in real settings. \nIt will be particularly valuable for: \n\nClassroom teachers (primary\, secondary and FE) who want to make Explicit Direct Instruction more engaging and effective\nHeads of department\, subject leads and curriculum leaders looking to improve consistency and quality of teaching\nInstructional coaches and mentors supporting colleagues to translate research into practice\nSenior and middle leaders responsible for teaching and learning\, professional development or curriculum design\nEarly career teachers seeking a strong foundation in high-impact instructional practice\, as well as experienced practitioners wanting to refine and sharpen their approach\n\n  \nWhether you are new to Explicit Direct Instruction or already using it and want to take it further\, this session will give you practical insights\, concrete examples and strategies you can apply immediately in your own classroom or across your organisation. \nCost \nThe cost of the workshop is £325 per person. Invoice payment is available upon request. \nThis includes a full day of expert-led professional development\, delivered by Doug Lemov\, as well as a range of practical tools and resources designed to support implementation back in the classroom. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies\, materials and examples that can be applied immediately to improve teaching and learning. \nGroup bookings are available\, with discounts applying for multiple delegates from the same school\, college or trust. This makes it an ideal opportunity to invest in shared practice and a common instructional approach across teams. \nTo find out more about group rates\, or to discuss your organisation’s needs\, please contact our team. \nGroup discounts are available.

SUMMARY:Books\, Knowledge and Attention: The Science of Reading
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is designed to support teachers and school leaders in deepening their understanding of the Science of Reading and\, crucially\, in turning that research into classroom practice that is intentional\, coherent\, and effective. While awareness of the Science of Reading has grown rapidly\, many educators are still grappling with how to apply the research in ways that genuinely improve student understanding. This session bridges that gap\, connecting evidence to pedagogy and curriculum so that reading instruction leads to meaningful\, lasting learning. \nThe session will be delivered by Doug Lemov and the team from Teach Like a Champion\, drawing on decades of classroom observation\, instructional design\, and professional learning with schools across the United States and internationally. The focus is on what works in real classrooms and how great teachers consistently help students read with insight\, confidence\, and purpose. \nThe workshop concentrates on the phase of reading development that begins once students have mastered letter–sound correspondence\, roughly from Grades 3 through 12\, when the primary challenge shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. Participants will explore what research reveals about how students build meaning from complex texts\, develop deep comprehension\, and transfer understanding across subjects\, including English language arts\, history\, and science. \nFacilitators will guide participants through key research on the role of fluency\, background knowledge\, vocabulary\, attention\, and writing in reading comprehension. We’ll examine how these elements work together\, why comprehension cannot be taught as a generic skill\, and how strong curriculum design ensures that all student\, regardless of background\, can access and succeed with challenging texts. Particular attention will be given to designing effective close reading tasks that promote productive struggle and help students think more deeply and independently about what they read. \nThroughout the workshop\, participants will study video examples from real classrooms\, analyze lesson plans grounded in research\, and engage in structured discussion and reflection. The emphasis is firmly on practice – what this looks like in real classrooms\, how it fits within existing curricula\, and how teachers and leaders can make immediate\, high-impact changes to instruction. \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is suitable for educators working with students in Grades 3–12\, including: \n\nElementary\, middle\, and high school teachers responsible for reading\, English language arts\, and content-area literacy\nLiteracy coaches and instructional specialists supporting curriculum design and classroom practice\nSchool and district leaders seeking a research-aligned approach to improving reading comprehension outcomes\nCurriculum leaders and coaches responsible for selecting\, adapting\, or implementing high-quality instructional materials\n\n  \nWhether you are strengthening classroom instruction or leading literacy improvement across a school or district\, this workshop provides a shared understanding\, practical strategies\, and common language to support better reading outcomes at scale. \nSchools will also have the option to purchase the Implementation Toolkit\, which includes a full set of workshop materials\, alongside additional planning tools and training resources to support sustained\, school-wide implementation. \nCost and location \nThe workshop is priced at $230 per person\, which includes lunch and refreshments on the day. Invoices are available upon request. \nGroup bundles are available for schools and districts purchasing three or more places\, a great option for teams looking to build shared understanding and align practice. To find out more about group pricing\, please contact our team. \nWe’re also offering an enhanced professional learning package. For $285 per person\, attendees will receive: \n\nFull access to this workshop with Doug Lemov\, and\nA ticket to Washington\, D.C. Festival of Education\, taking place on October 3\n\n  \nThis combined package offers exceptional value and the opportunity to further develop your teaching practice through exposure to a wide range of leading educators\, ideas\, and classroom-tested strategies. Group bundles also apply for this offer. \nPeople booking before the 31 March 2026 will get a 15% discount. \nLocation \nThe training will take place at The British International School of Washington\, the new home of the Washington\, D.C. Festival of Education. The school provides a professional\, inspiring setting for high-quality learning and collaboration\, right in the heart of the D.C. education community.

SUMMARY:Teach Like a Champion Live in Bangkok: The Science of Reading in Action
DESCRIPTION:Join Doug Lemov for an exclusive training event in Bangkok. This one-day professional learning experience offers educators the opportunity to learn directly from one of the world’s most influential voices in teaching and learning. \nDrawing on the latest research from cognitive science and the principles explored in The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading\, this highly practical workshop will unpack how students become powerful readers after phonics\, and what great literacy instruction looks like from primary through to secondary education and beyond. \nThroughout the day\, Doug will translate research into clear\, actionable classroom techniques. Using video from outstanding classrooms\, curriculum examples and guided practice\, participants will explore how to strengthen reading comprehension\, build knowledge\, and develop students who read with confidence\, fluency\, and purpose. \nWhat you’ll explore \nThis workshop focuses particularly on the language comprehension strand of Scarborough’s Reading Rope\, making it ideal for educators working with Grade 2 and above across English and other subject areas. \nKey themes include: \n\nThe critical role of background knowledge in reading comprehension\nThe critical and overlooked challenge of disfluency\nStrategies for building and sustaining student attention\nCreating strong communities of readers through shared reading\nUsing purposeful writing to deepen understanding of texts\nDeveloping vocabulary and knowledge systematically\nApproaches to text complexity and close reading across subjects\nThe research supporting the reading of whole books in English classrooms.\n\n  \nDoug will also share seven key principles for developing strong readers “post-phonics”\, the stage when students have mastered letter–sound correspondence but must now learn how to read increasingly complex texts throughout their academic journey. \nA practical\, high-impact learning experience \nParticipants will: \n\nPractise instructional techniques that strengthen literacy teaching\nExplore lesson examples and curriculum materials developed by Doug and his team\nWatch and analyse video from top classrooms\nDevelop strategies that can be applied across all subject areas\nLeave with resources and materials to use immediately in their schools\n\n  \nIn case you haven’t read Doug’s new book here’s what Daniel Willingham has to say about it: \n“I love this book. Every teacher who asks their students to read will find it becomes the most worn on their shelf; it’s a wellspring of clear explanation of the science of reading\, and practical strategies for helping students become successful readers.” \nAnd here’s what a school head in Washington\, D.C. had to say: \n“This book is simply PHENOMENAL to guide an adolescent literacy program. The text features an ideal mix of research and practical insights that I can implement tomorrow in our classrooms.” \nEvent details \n\nVenue: Grande Centre Point Prestige Bangkok\nPrice: £250 ((฿10\,763) per person add on a ticket to the Thailand Festival of Education for an extra £75 ((฿3\,235).\nIncludes: Lunch\, refreshments\, and workshop resources\n\n  \nWhy attend? \nThis is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Doug in an intimate workshop setting.
