Twilight Talk - Inclusion by Design: Practical PedTech Strategies for Strengthening Universal Provision, Inclusive Practice, and Pupil Agency

In this twilight talk, award-winning educator Julaan Govier explores how becoming a Google Reference School, with 1:1 Chromebook devices for all, transforms classroom inclusion and pupil outcomes across the LEO Academy Trust. Drawing from real-world practice, Julaan will demonstrate how built-in accessibility features, AI-powered differentiation, and 'stealth scaffolding'—such as discrete digital resource assignment and voice typing—dismantle learned helplessness, reduce metacognitive overload, protect pupil dignity, and foster true independence and agency.
