Day two of the @ADEScotland conference begins with a panel discussion with @sqanews, @EducationScot, @hmiescotland and the Centre for Teaching Excellence. Yesterday’s threads about ‘much reform but little change’ is an important context as we hear from these agencies. #ADES2025

Thought-provoking input for us all at the @ADEScotland conference from Prof. @AlmaHarris1. Challenging and strengthening our system leadership and collaboration approaches and leading with moral purpose. “Don’t just stay the course, steer the course!” #ADES25
