We were delighted to launch our ALP and Evidence Based Education Great Questioning Challenge last night 📚 ✨

A huge thank you to all the staff who attended and contributed so thoughtfully to the session, and to Faye Morris from Evidence Based Education for leading such an engaging and insightful workshop.

We are excited to see how this project supports teachers across ALP to develop and refine their questioning techniques and create classrooms where every pupil is encouraged to participate, think deeply and flourish.

AI, Innovation and the Future of Teaching 💻✨

A huge thank you to everyone who attended ALP Institute Digital Technology & AI Conference, held in partnership with our colleagues at Durham University.

It was fantastic to bring delegates together to explore how digital technology and AI can support innovation, creativity and high-quality teaching across our schools.

We are especially grateful to our partners at Durham University, particularly Dr Cristina Costa and Associate Professor Jake Burdis, for leading such insightful workshops and providing an inspiring keynote and plenary. Their expertise, insight and thoughtful leadership helped to spark rich discussion and reflection throughout the day.

The conversations started today will make a real contribution to our continued work in this area, as we move into the next stage of developing Digital Technology and AI in the classroom.
