Making time for student assessment: Better evidence, better decisions, better learning

Assessment is the bridge between learning; it is only through assessment that we can determine what our students have learned, and what we need to do next. However, developing effective learning takes time, and since teachers are already working at capacity, the only way to harness the power of assessment to improve learning is first to create time for teachers to think. To this end, this workshop has a dual focus: to share with participants the different ways that assessment can support learning and to help schools identify ways of saving time: to create time for innovation, and simply to help teachers get their lives back.

Artificial intelligence: How it will—and won’t—change education

What every teacher needs to know about artificial intelligence

The rapid improvement in the ability of large language models such as Chat-GPT to produce sophisticated responses to natural language questions has led many to claim that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize education. AI will, undoubtedly have profound implications for schools, teachers, and students, but there are also significant technical and ethical challenges that need to be addressed if AI is to improve education.
In this workshop, Dylan Wiliam will outline how large language models work, explore how AI will impact the world of work go on to show how AI-based tools will change schools and teaching.
