SUMMARY:Re-Imagining Education: Action and Change with Integrity and Imagination
DESCRIPTION:How can your organisation respond to the enormous challenges of our current moment with integrity\, courage and imagination? How can your learning community become a place where alternative futures are not simply discussed\, but actively created? \nDelivered in partnership with The Bridge at Wellington College\, this innovative year-long professional learning programme is designed for educators\, leaders and practitioners working across schools\, colleges\, training providers and wider learning organisations who want to move beyond reacting to challenges and instead cultivate the conditions for meaningful\, lasting change. \nAs a taster of the programme\, Elke will lead a session at the 2026 UK Festival of Education exploring two urgent questions: How can educators respond to a world in crisis and create alternative futures in the present? and How can imagination be put to work in educational spaces as a catalyst for change? The session will offer insight into the wider module-based programme running throughout the 2026/27 academic year. \nThrough a blend of thought-provoking dialogue\, practical tools and collaborative inquiry\, participants will explore imaginative approaches to improvement and transformation\, shifting the focus from problem-solving and crisis intervention towards possibility\, purpose and integrity. \nOver 12 months\, participants will engage in two in-person and three online learning experiences\, supported by coaching\, peer collaboration and structured opportunities for reflection and discussion. All participants will also gain access to a dedicated community space on the EduScape platform\, enabling ongoing connection\, collaboration and resource sharing throughout the programme. \nParticipants will identify a challenge or opportunity within their own organisation and work collaboratively to co-design an imaginative and actionable change project. Whether focused on culture\, curriculum\, learner engagement\, wellbeing\, leadership or organisational development\, the programme will support participants to turn ideas into meaningful action. \nThe programme culminates with an opportunity to share reflections\, learning and impact at the 2027 Festival of Education\, showcasing how imagination can become a powerful force for transformation across schools\, colleges and training providers. \nRegister now and save £100 before end September

SUMMARY:Recognising Stress and Burnout: What Self-Care Actually Looks Like
DESCRIPTION:Four live masterclasses to help you understand stress\, navigate difficult moments and treat yourself with greater kindness. \nMost of us recognise the importance of looking after our physical health\, but our mental health deserves the same care and attention. \nThis unique four-part webinar series with Owen O’Kane\, psychotherapist\, former NHS mental health clinical lead and Sunday Times bestselling author\, offers a practical\, honest and refreshingly straightforward approach to supporting your mental wellbeing. \nOwen is known for his warm\, direct and down-to-earth style. There is no jargon\, no judgement and no toxic positivity. Instead\, each session offers practical tools\, honest conversation and space to reflect on how you are really doing. \nAcross the four masterclasses\, Owen explores challenges many of us experience throughout the year\, from recognising stress and burnout to managing the pressures of Christmas\, navigating the January slump and quietening our inner critic. \nFour topics. One series. A chance to put yourself first. \nThe series begins on Wednesday 18 November during National Self-Care Week\, the perfect time to move your mental health and wellbeing higher up the agenda. \nFlexible booking options \nEach masterclass can be booked individually\, allowing you to choose the sessions that feel most relevant to you. An individual masterclass costs £50 plus VAT. \nIf you would like to attend more than one session\, the more you book\, the more you save: \n\nTwo sessions: 10% discount\nThree sessions: 15% discount\nFull four-session series: 20% discount\, plus a free copy of Owen’s bestselling book\, Addicted to Anxiety.\n\nWhether you attend one masterclass or the full series\, you will receive access to the recording. If you cannot join live\, you can download it and watch at a time that suits you\, or revisit the session afterwards. \nThe masterclass series at a glance \nEach session is a 75-minute live masterclass with Owen\, held over lunchtime from 12.30 to 13:45. It is an opportunity to step away from the working day and spend some time focusing on yourself. \nEvery masterclass combines Owen’s practical\, honest and jargon-free approach to mental health with: \n\nGuided self-reflection exercises\nA guided meditation\nA live Q&A\, giving you the opportunity to ask Owen your questions\nPractical ideas and tools you can continue using after the session\n\n  \nSession 1: Recognising Stress and Burnout: What Self-Care Actually Looks Like \n18 November at 12:30 \nOpening the series during National Self-Care Week\, this masterclass explores how to recognise the early warning signs of stress before they develop into burnout. \nOwen describes these signs as “fatigue signposting” — the physical\, emotional and behavioural signals we often overlook until we have run out of road. Using the image of an overwhelmed mind as a computer with too many windows open\, he offers a direct reminder that “martyrdom is highly overrated” and explores what meaningful\, sustainable self-care actually involves. \nKey takeaways \n\nRecognise the early signs of stress before they tip into burnout\nExplore Owen’s daily self-care needs list and identify what you may be missing\nLearn “Two to Zen”\, Owen’s two-minute emergency reset technique\nDevelop a shared language for the rest of the series\n\n  \nSession 2: Coping at Christmas: When You’re Not Feeling It but Everyone Else Seems to Be \n9 December at 12:30 \nChristmas often comes with an unspoken script: be cheerful\, relaxed and surrounded by loved ones. For many\, however\, it can bring anxiety\, difficult family dynamics and pressure to pretend everything is fine. \nThis masterclass explores the “ego mask” we wear when hiding how we really feel and reframes unhelpful habits as protective responses rather than personal failings. Owen offers practical ways to calm the threat response\, step out of anxiety loops and let go of comparisons with other people’s seemingly perfect Christmases. \nKey takeaways \n\nUnderstand anxiety as a habit loop rather than a personality flaw\nLearn Owen’s technique for calming the threat response\nGive yourself permission not to perform being fine\nRecognise why comparing your Christmas with others’ can make things harder\n\n  \nSession 3: New Year Reset: Not Another ‘New Year\, New You’ Overhaul \n13 January 2027 at 12:30 \nJanuary can bring pressure to change everything at once\, often when energy and motivation are at their lowest. This masterclass offers a more grounded alternative: beginning with an honest acceptance of where you are rather than chasing an unrealistic “new you”. \nDrawing on his established New Year Reset masterclass and ideas from Addicted to Anxiety\, Owen explains in plain language why the start of the year can feel so difficult. He introduces practical routines for building resilience\, soothing stress and moving forwards at a more manageable pace. \nKey takeaways \n\nUnderstand how stress works in clear\, everyday language\nLearn practical strategies for slowing down and doing less\nUse Owen’s pause–prioritise–proceed process on urgent or overwhelming days\nPractise a simple noticing exercise to support you through to March\n\nSession 4: Why We Love to Hate Ourselves \n10 March 2027 at 12:30 \nSelf-criticism can feel like the truth\, but it is often an old protective habit developed to keep us small\, safe and accepted. This masterclass offers a more compassionate way to understand your inner critic and recognise when its once well-intentioned voice is getting in your way. \nDrawing on Owen’s Seven Deadly Sins framework\, the session explores the different parts of ourselves that shape how we think and feel. Through practical reflection\, including Owen’s ‘dinner party’ exercise\, you will learn to give every part of yourself a seat at the table and develop a gentler\, more supportive inner voice. \nKey takeaways \n\nRecognise self-criticism as an old habit rather than the truth\nExplore Owen’s Seven Deadly Sins framework\nUse the ‘dinner party’ exercise to understand different parts of yourself\nDevelop a kinder internal voice to carry forwards\n\nReady to put your mental wellbeing first? \nChoose the masterclass that speaks to you or book the full series for the greatest value. Secure your place today and take a practical step towards feeling calmer\, more resilient and kinder to yourself.

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 ((฿11\,063) 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.

SUMMARY:The Revised Ofsted Framework: What It Really Means for Providers
DESCRIPTION:The revised Ofsted inspection framework is now one year old\, but for many providers\, what this means in practice is still unclear. \nDrawing on FIN’s detailed inspection analysis from our work with over 600 providers\, this webinar goes beyond headline changes to explore how inspections are actually being experienced\, what inspectors are focusing on\, and where provider expectations are not fully aligning with reality. \n  \nWhat to expect \nFIN will share insights from their well-established and increasingly unique source of inspection intelligence to this webinar. Following detailed analysis of inspections\, provider data and learning from FIN’s work with hundreds of providers\, we will look beyond individual inspection outcomes to identify trends\, patterns and recurring themes emerging as the revised framework rolls out across different types of provision. \n  \nAn opportunity to explore what is actually happening in the field\, and what providers can learn from it. \nWe will examine: \n\nWhat inspections are telling us: emerging patterns in inspection practice\, recurring strengths and weaknesses\, common misconceptions and areas where provider expectations do not always match what inspectors are looking for.\nWhat the evidence is beginning to reveal: how analysing inspections across different provider types\, contexts and settings can identify trends that may not be visible from an individual inspection. FIN will share practical guidance on what providers should be alert to as the framework continues to roll out.\nA spotlight on how providers can better use their own data: Ofsted has consistently emphasised the importance of context. But are providers making full use of the opportunity this creates? We will explore how leaders can move beyond simply presenting data and instead peel back learner participation\, achievement and progress data to understand what it is actually telling them about the quality of their provision.\nFrom data to prediction\, prediction to action: good data analysis should do more than describe what has already happened. We will consider how identifying patterns can help providers anticipate where learners may be at risk\, investigate why\, and take action before an issue becomes an inspection finding.\nSpotting patterns that matter: breaks in learning\, withdrawals\, achievement gaps\, attendance\, destinations and learner progress can reveal patterns that are unique to a provider’s location\, learner population\, curriculum\, employer base or industry. The question is not simply “What does our data say?” but “What is it telling us\, and what are we doing about it?”\nTracking change over time: a single data point rarely tells the whole story. We will explore the importance of tracking trends over time\, testing whether interventions are working and building a robust culture of continuous improvement rather than preparing evidence simply because an inspection is approaching.\nLearning from providers: first-hand experience of the inspection process will be shared. As a Bud customer\, they will communicate how they have used their own intelligence and improvement practice to fully understand their provision\, respond to challenge and achieve a Strong Standard.\nSeparating myth from reality: challenging some of the fears and assumptions that have developed around the revised framework and consider what the emerging evidence tells us about consistency\, transparency and proportionality in practice.\n\n  \nThroughout the session\, Kerry Boffey\, CEO\, Fellowship of Inspection Nominees (FIN) will translate the framework’s analysis into practical guidance about what providers can do now — helping leaders move from “What might Ofsted ask us?” to the much more powerful question: “What does our own evidence tell us about the experience and outcomes of our learners\, and what are we doing about it?” \nThis webinar is supported by Rhian Old\, Chief Commercial Officer from the team at Bud; and to share practice through provider experience\, we are welcomed by ANS Group‘s Operations Manager\, Megan Bradshaw.  Megan was heavily involved in the group’s recent Ofsted inspection and will share their experience of being one of the first training providers who underwent inspection under the  revised framework\, talking through their visit\, what they have learnt\, and examples of how things are being done differently 12 months on. \n  \nWho should attend? \nThe event will offer support and guidance to all those involved in quality assurance and quality improvement within colleges\, ITPs\, sixth form provision\, HE Providers\, local authorities and employer provision including: \n\nSenior leaders\nQuality nominees\nCurriculum managers\nQuality leads\n\n  \nThis is not a theoretical overview of the framework; it is a practical\, provider-focused session designed to help you understand how your current approach is likely to stand up to inspection\, where you may be vulnerable\, and the steps you can take to strengthen confidence and readiness over the next 12 months. \n  \nDon’t miss your opportunity to be fully informed. Book your place now! \nJoin live or watch later on demand at a time that suits you.

SUMMARY:Owen O’Kane: Four Conversations for Better Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Four live masterclasses to help you understand stress\, navigate difficult moments and treat yourself with greater kindness. \nMost of us recognise the importance of looking after our physical health\, but our mental health deserves the same care and attention. \nThis unique four-part webinar series with Owen O’Kane\, psychotherapist\, former NHS mental health clinical lead and Sunday Times bestselling author\, offers a practical\, honest and refreshingly straightforward approach to supporting your mental wellbeing. \nOwen is known for his warm\, direct and down-to-earth style. There is no jargon\, no judgement and no toxic positivity. Instead\, each session offers practical tools\, honest conversation and space to reflect on how you are really doing. \nAcross the four masterclasses\, Owen explores challenges many of us experience throughout the year\, from recognising stress and burnout to managing the pressures of Christmas\, navigating the January slump and quietening our inner critic. \nFour topics. One series. A chance to put yourself first. \nThe series begins on Wednesday 18 November during National Self-Care Week\, the perfect time to move your mental health and wellbeing higher up the agenda. \nFlexible booking options \nEach masterclass can be booked individually\, allowing you to choose the sessions that feel most relevant to you. An individual masterclass costs £50 plus VAT. \nIf you would like to attend more than one session\, the more you book\, the more you save: \n\nTwo sessions: 10% discount\nThree sessions: 15% discount\nFull four-session series: 20% discount\, plus a free copy of Owen’s bestselling book\, Addicted to Anxiety.\n\nWhether you attend one masterclass or the full series\, you will receive access to the recording. If you cannot join live\, you can download it and watch at a time that suits you\, or revisit the session afterwards. \nThe masterclass series at a glance \nEach session is a 75-minute live masterclass with Owen\, held over lunchtime from 12.30 to 13:45. It is an opportunity to step away from the working day and spend some time focusing on yourself. \nEvery masterclass combines Owen’s practical\, honest and jargon-free approach to mental health with: \n\nGuided self-reflection exercises\nA guided meditation\nA live Q&A\, giving you the opportunity to ask Owen your questions\nPractical ideas and tools you can continue using after the session\n\n  \nSession 1: Recognising Stress and Burnout: What Self-Care Actually Looks Like \n18 November at 12:30 \nOpening the series during National Self-Care Week\, this masterclass explores how to recognise the early warning signs of stress before they develop into burnout. \nOwen describes these signs as “fatigue signposting” — the physical\, emotional and behavioural signals we often overlook until we have run out of road. Using the image of an overwhelmed mind as a computer with too many windows open\, he offers a direct reminder that “martyrdom is highly overrated” and explores what meaningful\, sustainable self-care actually involves. \nKey takeaways \n\nRecognise the early signs of stress before they tip into burnout\nExplore Owen’s daily self-care needs list and identify what you may be missing\nLearn “Two to Zen”\, Owen’s two-minute emergency reset technique\nDevelop a shared language for the rest of the series\n\n  \nSession 2: Coping at Christmas: When You’re Not Feeling It but Everyone Else Seems to Be \n9 December at 12:30 \nChristmas often comes with an unspoken script: be cheerful\, relaxed and surrounded by loved ones. For many\, however\, it can bring anxiety\, difficult family dynamics and pressure to pretend everything is fine. \nThis masterclass explores the “ego mask” we wear when hiding how we really feel and reframes unhelpful habits as protective responses rather than personal failings. Owen offers practical ways to calm the threat response\, step out of anxiety loops and let go of comparisons with other people’s seemingly perfect Christmases. \nKey takeaways \n\nUnderstand anxiety as a habit loop rather than a personality flaw\nLearn Owen’s technique for calming the threat response\nGive yourself permission not to perform being fine\nRecognise why comparing your Christmas with others’ can make things harder\n\n  \nSession 3: New Year Reset: Not Another ‘New Year\, New You’ Overhaul \n13 January 2027 at 12:30 \nJanuary can bring pressure to change everything at once\, often when energy and motivation are at their lowest. This masterclass offers a more grounded alternative: beginning with an honest acceptance of where you are rather than chasing an unrealistic “new you”. \nDrawing on his established New Year Reset masterclass and ideas from Addicted to Anxiety\, Owen explains in plain language why the start of the year can feel so difficult. He introduces practical routines for building resilience\, soothing stress and moving forwards at a more manageable pace. \nKey takeaways \n\nUnderstand how stress works in clear\, everyday language\nLearn practical strategies for slowing down and doing less\nUse Owen’s pause–prioritise–proceed process on urgent or overwhelming days\nPractise a simple noticing exercise to support you through to March\n\n\nSession 4: Why We Love to Hate Ourselves \n10 March 2027 at 12:30 \nSelf-criticism can feel like the truth\, but it is often an old protective habit developed to keep us small\, safe and accepted. This masterclass offers a more compassionate way to understand your inner critic and recognise when its once well-intentioned voice is getting in your way. \nDrawing on Owen’s Seven Deadly Sins framework\, the session explores the different parts of ourselves that shape how we think and feel. Through practical reflection\, including Owen’s ‘dinner party’ exercise\, you will learn to give every part of yourself a seat at the table and develop a gentler\, more supportive inner voice. \nKey takeaways \n\nRecognise self-criticism as an old habit rather than the truth\nExplore Owen’s Seven Deadly Sins framework\nUse the ‘dinner party’ exercise to understand different parts of yourself\nDevelop a kinder internal voice to carry forwards\n\n\nReady to put your mental wellbeing first? \nChoose the masterclass that speaks to you or book the full series for the greatest value. Secure your place today and take a practical step towards feeling calmer\, more resilient and kinder to yourself.

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: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. \nGroup bookings for schools\, trusts and colleges are available. Contact the team via email to discuss organisational packages and team attendance.

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.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Funding Assurance Reviews
DESCRIPTION:With the publication of the updated DfE working papers for 2025/26\, funding assurance expectations across the further education and skills sector continue to tighten. Providers delivering 16-19 study programmes\, Adult Skills Fund and other non-apprenticeship provision must ensure their controls\, documentation and data are fully aligned to the latest approach. \nTo help you stay ahead of these changes\, EducationScape is proud to present a focused\, one-part webinar designed to give you the clarity and confidence you need ahead of your next funding assurance review. \nDelivered in collaboration with Karl Bentley\, Director at Validera\, this practical session will focus on preparing effectively for funding assurance reviews in 2025/26. The webinar which takes place on 10th June at 10am will also examine key DSAT issues currently being identified by the DfE and what they reveal about potential funding data risks for providers. \nFunding assurance reviews are high-stakes and increasingly detailed. With new DfE working papers now in circulation\, it is essential that providers understand not only what has changed\, but how those changes translate into on-the-ground audit activity. \nThis session will take a cross-funding view\, helping organisations stress-test their readiness and strengthen their internal controls before auditors arrive. \nIn this webinar\, Karl Bentley will: \n\nWalk through the key themes within the 2025/26 DfE working papers (non-apprenticeship provision)\nExplain how sample selection\, materiality and error thresholds operate in practice\nClarify what triggers deeper or 100% reviews\nExplore common evidence gaps in learner files and ILR data\nHighlight frequent compliance risks across study programmes and adult provision\nReview key DSAT findings and what they indicate about data quality and funding risk\nShare lessons learned from recent funding assurance reviews\n\n  \nDrawing on years of front-line funding assurance experience\, Karl will provide practical insight into what auditors look for\, where providers most often fall short\, and how to build a robust internal assurance framework. \nHis insights will help you prepare thoroughly and avoid the common mistakes that lead to funding adjustments and clawback. \nA live Q&A will follow the session\, giving you the opportunity to raise specific concerns and gain clarity on areas of risk within your own organisation. \nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is essential for: \n\nSenior Leaders\nFinance Directors\nFunding and Compliance Managers\nMIS Leads\nInternal Audit and Quality Teams\nCurriculum Managers responsible for funded provision\n\n  \nIf you are responsible for protecting your organisation from funding risk and ensuring audit readiness\, this session will give you the tools and insight needed to approach 2025/26 with confidence. \nSpaces are expected to fill quickly – secure your place and ensure you are fully prepared for the year ahead. \nJoin live or watch later on demand at a time that suits you.

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:Inclusion and Belonging Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the EducationScape Inclusion and Belonging Summit – a flagship event for schools and colleges\, bringing together leaders\, practitioners and specialists from across the education system to explore how we move from intention to impact when it comes to inclusion. This summit in partnership with The Skills Network has been deliberately designed to reflect the real journeys of learners\, recognising that belonging must be nurtured consistently from early secondary education through post-16 and beyond. By hearing directly from speakers working in schools\, colleges and national organisations\, you will gain insight that is grounded in practice\, informed by research and shaped by lived experience. \nWhy this summit matters now \nWhile compliance with DfE funding guidance and Ofsted’s evolving inspection framework and report cards is important\, it is no longer enough. Schools and colleges are being asked to demonstrate how culture\, inclusion and wellbeing are embedded – not just documented. This summit creates space to step back and ask deeper questions: \n\nWhat does true belonging look like in a school or college?\nHow do inclusive cultures reduce behaviour issues\, improve attendance and support achievement?\nHow do we ensure no learner becomes disengaged at key transition points?\n\n  \nBy focusing on belonging as a driver of success\, this event supports you to build environments where children and young people feel confident\, connected and able to thrive academically\, personally and professionally. \nA joined-up conversation for schools and colleges \nOne of the defining strengths of this summit is its cross-phase perspective. Inclusion does not reset when a learner moves from school to college\, and neither should our thinking. Throughout the day\, you will hear from: \n\nSchool leaders and inclusion specialists\nCollege and post-16 practitioners\nOfsted\, researchers\, sector experts and charities.\n\n  \nTogether\, they will explore how consistent approaches to culture\, empathy and purpose can support learners across Key Stage 3\, Key Stage 4 and post-16 education\, particularly at points where vulnerability and disengagement are most likely. \nWhat you’ll gain from attending \nThis is a practical\, thought-provoking day designed to support real change in your setting.
