Thanks to ASCL Northern Ireland for a great annual conference in Belfast. Enjoyable, informative speakers and an exceptionally warm welcome from Director John Trueman, President, Nicola Connery and all their colleagues. And, thanks to my colleagues Graham Hutton and David Barnett for their company.

Professor Tim Oates CBE, gave an informative speech @ASCLNI conference around curriculum & qualifications “crashing against each other”. True. Curriculum coherence & a renewed focus on knowledge rich rather than skills based learning required. More discussion required. 🤔

Richard Atterton, ASCL Honorary Secretary gave a superbly interesting and moving speech on the story of @ASCLNI @ascl @LeadersScotland and how we all work together - and how we should support each other. Perfect for the theme of Leading Together. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

ASCL Northern Ireland Conference in Belfast—what an incredible day of collaboration and inspiration! The theme, Leading Together, resonated deeply, reminding us of the power of united leadership in navigating challenges and driving positive change in education. @ascl

Got myself a signed copy of this book. I know I’m not a teacher but I do have an interest in education from training radiography students to helping new actors and theatre makers. I’m intrigued to see the impact AI is having on the way we teach and educate.
