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:Discover why schools worldwide are moving away from traditional assessment in favour of the Dutch ‘Formative Action’ model. \nFormative Action aligns closely with the Teaching WalkThrus approach to instructional coaching and professional learning. Valentina collaborates with WalkThrus on the design and delivery of sessions that explore how formative action and WalkThrus can be meaningfully combined in classroom practice and school-wide improvement. \nFrom data to decisions. From activities to action. From assessment to pedagogy rooted in curriculum. \nMany schools have tried formative assessment techniques\, mini whiteboards\, exit tickets\, low-stakes quizzes\, feedback protocols. Some have even embedded them into school policies. But despite these efforts\, a familiar problem remains\, the curriculum stays untouched. \nThat’s because techniques alone can’t drive deep learning. \nFormative assessment often turns into a moment\, a task\, a question\, a data point. Information is collected\, but nothing changes. The curriculum marches on. \nFormative Action is a different approach\, one that starts with curriculum design. \nIt asks: \n• What do students need to master by the end of this unit or course? \n• Where are they now\, really? \n• What is the most meaningful next step and how should teaching respond? \nThis shift is about more than replacing one term with another. It’s about putting curriculum goals at the centre of pedagogical decisions. When curriculum\, instruction\, and feedback are aligned\, teachers no longer work reactively they teach with foresight\, purpose\, and flexibility. \nWhy move from formative assessment to formative action? \nThe term formative assessment has created confusion. It’s often misunderstood as informal testing\, giving feedback without grades\, or doing “a formative thing” before a test. These practices rarely impact what comes next. \nFormative action reframes the whole process. \nIt’s not a tool or activity it’s a pedagogical design principle. A short-cycle process where teachers and students co-regulate learning\, based on purposeful evidence\, within a coherent curriculum framework. \nThis means: \n• No more feedback for the sake of feedback. \n• No more teaching disconnected from long-term goals. \n• No more “formative” tasks without real consequences. \nIt’s what has made the Dutch model of formative action both rigorous and sustainable and why it’s now being adopted in schools across Europe and beyond . \nWho should attend? \nThis workshop is designed for teachers\, curriculum leaders\, instructional coaches\, learning support teams\, and senior leaders (e.g. heads of department\, deputy heads\, assessment leads)\, anyone who shapes teaching\, learning\, or curriculum development. \nWhat you will takeaway \n• A clear\, practical understanding of the three strategies of formative action\, when to use each\, and how to design them purposefully. \n• Templates and examples grounded in real curriculum sequences. \n• Tools to align teaching\, feedback\, and curriculum even in content-heavy subjects. \n• A stronger foundation for pedagogical decision-making. \n• Ongoing support via a dedicated Formative Action space within EduScape\, the community app for educators from EducationScape. \n• Dedicated time to bring your questions. \nBook now to secure your place. \nGroup bookings are available.  Contact our team via email.

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.
