Ofsted’s new framework puts pupil voice & inclusion at the heart of inspection. Tomorrow I’m running a free webinar on what this means for leaders — & how you go beyond numbers to evidence inclusion with confidence. Join me! 🗓 Mon 15 Sept 12.30–1.30pm thegec.education/events

If you are over 18, neurodivergent, and work in the UK, please consider participating in our (very short) survey about workplace experiences.
Are you clinically or self-diagnosed with any type of #neurodivergence? Do you work in the UK? We’re looking for participants to take part in our survey to better understand the current state of workplaces across the UK. This is part of our THRIVE project, which aims to make workplaces more #inclusive for neurodivergent employees. Complete our survey: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/THRIVE_s… #NeurodiverseWorkforce #NeuroInclusive #AccessibleWorkplace

Thank you so much to @TH_PatrickM @QuotidienneRose @theaieducatorX and @k_shelton for that deep dive into AI into education. I feel so assured knowing I’m not the only educator overwhelmed by the pressure of a possible AI Dystopia! Really interesting and wonderfully articulated.
