    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.

    Reading Isn’t Enough: Why Writing Is the Missing Lever

    Many schools are making important gains in early reading through structured literacy and evidence-based instruction, yet many principals are noticing a troubling disconnect: students who can decode text still struggle to write complete sentences, explain their thinking, and demonstrate comprehension. This edWebinar explores why writing is not simply an outcome of reading instruction, but a critical driver of it.
