A QUIET REVOLUTION IN ASSESSMENT
The EPQ has been a ‘quiet revolution’. One of its architects, Dr John Taylor looks at how it is already changing learning.
Also in this month’s ITM, we meet Peter Milne, whose work with international schools is having a real impact on environmental learning, Kyle Kauf is inspired by a trendy coffee shop, and sets up his classroom as a learning café and Colleen Hoare looks at the responsibilities agencies have for ‘safer recruitment’.
Giles Abbott encourages us to develop our story-telling skills, Naomi Ward and Kyra Kellawan look at ‘regenerative’ approaches to leadership while Surekha Rao suggests a different approach to practical science lab work.
Richard Human updates us about the implementation of the AI programme across the Globeducate school group and Anna Azarova looks at how the compassion of students at The British International School of Ukraine is helping their resilience through very difficult times.
