Attendees meeting with authors at today’s book signing sessions @EducationFest 💫 #EducationFest 📚

🎏Day Two Strands🎏 Inclusion for all – with @mission44 Sir Lewis Hamilton’s Mission 44 exists to empower young people to overcome social injustice and succeed. In delivering that mission, the charity works with a broad range of schools and other partners to support inclusion for under-served and under-represented young people. Join them for an informative series of sessions to inspire action in your setting today. Delivering change – with @HeadsRoundtable Following on from their immensely successful manifesto sessions last year, the Headteachers’ Rountable returns with a day of policy-shaping, sector-changing, school-informed policies and practical ideas for implementing them to drive genuine improvement and overcome the many crises school leaders and their communities face. Race to the top – with @BAMEedNetwork Continuing a long and proud partnership between the BAMEed group and the Festival of Education, this series of sessions will explore how racial injustice continues to characterise many facets of the education sector from attendance and curriculum to exclusions and employment practices, and offer solutions to deeply ingrained and counter-productive practices holding schools and society back. SEND: From inclusion to belonging When the Secretary of State herself describes the SEND system as “lose, lose, lose”, there can be no doubt that it’s in crisis. What’s it like to be a SENCO in this context? What can we learn from neurodivergent teachers? What are parents’ priorities? Join us for a series of sessions to get under the bonnet and look for ways to get from breakdown to progress. Engendering equality – with @WomenEd All but three of the top 100 public sector bodies with the for gender paygap are academy trusts. Women between the ages of 35 and 39 are the largest group among the growing number of teachers leaving the profession – and often do not return. Join WomenED for practical solutions to this ongoing gender-based injustice. The improvement journey – with @Ofstednews A new chief inspector is at the help and Ofsted has spent the best part of this year in Big Listening mode. Join the inspectorate’s top team to explore what they’ve learned in the past year and how they and the sector can continue the vital journey of school improvement, with insights into their latest research and developments. Healthy schools: Adapting to absence The attendance crisis is also in part a health crisis. From Long Covid to the Covid’s long-tail impact on mental health, schools are still adapting to a new normal of health impacts and disparities. Join us to hear from a range of educators and allied professionals on how to improve belonging and attainment for those who are absent and unwell. Students first – with the @GECCollect The generational gap is growing. If children are living lives their older siblings don’t recognise, then what chance do teachers have to keep up? At the Festival of Education for the first time, the Global Equality Collective will explore ways to listen to, understand and intentionally include students beyond these differences and in a way that reflects the lives they live and aspire to. Sustainability: Towards a net-zero education - with @CambPressAssess The sector’s response to the climate crisis is a central pillar of the Festival of Education’s offer. From teaching and modelling sustainable action with young people and communities to reducing the school estate’s carbon footprint, the sector is vital to the nation’s green ambitions. This two-day series of sessions will take you from net zero to climate hero with practical advice, rich case studies and plenty of food for thought action. Marking from micro to macro – with Rethinking Assessment From big data to microcredentials and from self-assessment to large-scale exams, technological advancements are reshaping the ways we think about what assessment is and can do. Join a selection of speakers from Rethinking Assessment to explore how new dimensions of learning can be captured, validated and shared. The Debates – with Public First Public First research has been reshaping the conversation around every important topic in education from attendance tutoring and from accountability to teacher retention. Join them as they host a series of discussions on today’s most pressing challenges and how to solve them, with some of the sector’s most effective leaders.
