Day 1
12:00 - 13:00 Workshops Session 1: Designing and Implementing Randomised Controlled Trials in Education
13:00 - 14:00 Lunch
14:00 - 15:00 Workshop Session 2: Learning and Remembering
15:30 - 16:30 Workshop Session 3: Desirable Difficulties in the Classroom
Making learning more difficult in the short-term can improve learning outcome because the more we think about something the more likely it is to be remembered. This session will teach delegates about the main evidence-based strategies in this area.
Day 2
10:00 - 11:00 Calculus, Quantum Physics, Organic Chemistry -What employers really want in 21st Century School Leavers
Often educational institutions focuses on the need for students to gain mastery in core subjects and improve their attainment, although academic excellence is a contributing factor in the idea of young people being employable, there are other key factors to be considered. School Leavers will have to be flexible and have the personal capabilities to manage changing and challenging work situations. This interactive session is aimed at teachers, middle leaders and senior leaders, who are keen to develop future ready learners who can contribute meaningful to their immediate and global society. The session aims to highlight meaningful employment engagement strategies that can be incorporated both inside and outside the classroom to help develop students' employability skills and make them globally competitive.

11:00 - 11:30 Coffee Break
11:30 - 12:30 Workshops Session 1: Designing and Implementing Randomised Controlled Trials in Education
This workshop will build on Richard’s keynote and give delegates a practical hands on experience of designing a randomised controlled trial. During the workshop delegates will explore different types of trial and strategies for randomisation.
12:30 - 13:00 The Importance of the 21st Century Skills in Education. What would Socrates say?
13:00 - 14:00 Lunch
14:00 - 15:00 Workshop Session 2: Learning and Remembering
In this session delegates will learn about the processes of memory and recall and how such an understanding can be used to enhance classroom teaching and pupil outcomes in a wide range of subject areas.
15:00 - 15:30 The Near Future of AI in the Classroom: A Bridge to Personalized Learning
Faced with a growing global teacher shortage and an increased need for just-in-time learning, artificial intelligence and machine learning may serve to improve school performance and student outcomes. While adaptive learning has been part of the education landscape for twenty plus years, artificial intelligence can help us shape unique, multi-dimensional learning plans for students, understand student's areas of need (academic and emotional), and help teachers and schools assess the impact of learning interventions on an individual level. This talk will focus on artificial intelligence in schools today and in the near future - from early intervention for dyslexia to cognitive-behavioral support to individual study skills coaching.
16:00 - 17:00 Workshop Session 3: Desirable Difficulties in the Classroom
Making learning more difficult in the short-term can improve learning outcome because the more we think about something the more likely it is to be remembered. This session will teach delegates about the main evidence-based strategies in this area.
