Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

187 - More Than One Route
Q: What made you feel that one post-16 pathway wasn't right for every student?
The schools had a diverse student body and needed a system that could tailor education to individual strengths, interests, and future plans, not a one-size-fits-all pathway. This required moving beyond the traditional A-level or IB-only models to a flexible, blended approach that could accommodate different needs.
184 - Joining the Dots in Student Wellbeing
Q: Where should listeners go to learn more about ISCA and the counseling framework, and what should they explore first?
Listeners are guided to explore ISCA's Academy for upskilling courses, the SEL Toolkit for practical tools to integrate social-emotional learning across K-12, and, foundationally, the counseling framework for role clarity and shared language.
172 - Creating Safer School Cultures with Alexandra Somers, Head of Education at Everyone’s Invited
Q: What are some of the gaps that you see schools are not engaging with?
There is a real fear from adults to have these conversations with young people, and often a lack of resources and time to run consistent sessions.
172 - Creating Safer School Cultures with Alexandra Somers, Head of Education at Everyone’s Invited
Q: What are the testimonies revealed about school culture that the statistics don't really show or policies don't really show?
They showed a significant lack of education around sexual violence and consent, with many students feeling that their schools did not take these issues seriously.
171 - Scaling AI with Purpose: Leading Change Across a School Community
Q: What blind spots did you notice amongst your faculty regarding AI tools?
Jamie recognized an underestimation of the community's understanding of AI and the implications for data management as a major blind spot.
