I have been a teacher for 27 years, a Headteacher for 12 years and, at the age of 51, this much I know about who is speaking at researchED, York this summer.
Saturday 9 July 2016
It’s approaching three years since planning for the first researchED conference began. Since that inaugural event at Dulwich College in September 2013, researchED conferences have popped up across the globe, from Amsterdam to Sydney via New York! Later this year researchED returns to old York, hosted at Huntington School. On Saturday 9 July we will be taking stock, focusing even more intently upon what works and evaluating just how far evidence-informed practice is improving our students’ classroom experience. As well as the opportunity to listen to some of the most challenging educational thinkers in the country, there is the chance to hear Research-leads talking about how they have been using evidence-informed approaches to improve teaching and learning in their schools, including Research-leads from Huntington’s own ‘RISE Project’ Our current speaker list includes… Baroness Estelle Morris, former Secretary of State for Education Philippa Cordingley, Chief Executive of CUREE Tom Bennett, founder of ResearchEd Tom Sherrington, Headteacher at Highbury Grove School Kev Bartle, Headteacher at Canons High School Katie McGee, research Advocate at Canons High School Professor Jeremy Hodgen, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Nottingham David Didau, education consultant Dr Chris Weadon, Founder of ‘No More Marking’ Jonathan Haslam, Manager of Dissemination at the Institute for Effective Education, York Caroline Creaby, Assistant Headteacher at Sandringham School Professor Sam Twiselton, Director of Sheffield Hallam’s ‘Sheffield Institute of Education’ Matt Smith, Subject Leader of Mathematics at Huntington School Phil Stock, Assistant Headteacher and Research-lead at Greenshaw High School Steve Oaks, Assistant Director of Blue Coat 6th Form & author of ‘A Level Mindset’ Jo Facer, Head of English at Michaela School Matt Walker, research Manager at NFER Super Network – Cambridge University Dr Carol Davenport, Director of ‘Think Physics’ Ben White, Research-lead at Ashford teaching Alliance Marc Smith, Chartered Psychologist and writer Lisa Pettifer, Teaching School Coordinator & Head of PD Bridget Clay, Teacher Development Trust Mary Whitehouse, Project Director, Science Education Group, University of York Ben White, Director of Research for Ashford Teaching Alliance Ffion Eaton, Research-lead & Assistant Headteacher at Tarporley School Josie Mingay, Lead Learner of Research, Greenshaw High School Leon Walker, Deputy Headteacher and Research-lead at Meols Cop High School Sally Glenn, Research-lead at All Saints School, York Dr Gary Jones, education consultant Summer Turner, Director of Teaching & Learning at East London Science School Helene Galdin-O’Shea, Research Advocate at Park High School & indispensable member of ResearchEd Alex Quigley, Director of Research School, Huntington School The Education Endowment Foundation And me…with more exciting additions yet to be announced!
