There are so many different needs in each classroom. We have students with identified special educational needs, English as an additional language, as well as students performing above or below age-related expectations. No two learners are the same.
But teachers can't be everywhere at once, so how can we design an inclusive learning environment to cater for diverse learning needs?
Join us to explore:
- How to provide effective and efficient support for different learning needs
- How tech tools and AI can support personalised learning
- How to implement a digital strategy in your setting
- Why pedagogy-led technology is the way forward
Plus, hear success stories from teachers and students who are benefiting from personalised learning strategies.
Agenda
Designing for Diversity
The Power of Personalised Learning
In this keynote session, Dr. Shelley Moore will explore the changing concept of inclusion in education.
Rather than just including a few students who are different, we are moving towards teaching for all differences. This session will consider how we can integrate multiple inclusive frameworks to guide collaborative teams to design for diversity, rather than retrofit for deficits.
Dr. Shelley Moore will discuss how this approach can help educators create lessons that celebrate diversity and meet the needs of all pupils from the outset. Join us to learn how to create classrooms that recognise and build on each learner's strengths, fostering a truly inclusive environment for everyone.
Speakers
Personalised Edtech
Supporting Diverse Learning Needs
The talents of different thinkers far outweigh the learning challenges that many experience. And, given the right tools, many of these challenges can be overcome.
In this session, we'll explore how edtech-enabled personalisation can support the wide and varied range of learner profiles in our classrooms.
Learning needs we'll cover include: specific learning differences (Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia), disabilities (Visual Impairments, Hearing Impairments, Motor Impairments), English as an Additional Language learners, and students performing above or below age-related expectations.

Why Pedagogy-Led Technology is the Way Forward
Join Dr. Fiona Aubrey-Smith for an insightful session to explore how PedTech (A pedagogy-first approach to technology) can support diverse learning needs in education.
Pedagogical technology refers to the use of digital tools and resources to enhance teaching and learning. In this comprehensive roundup, Dr. Fiona Aubrey-Smith will provide fresh perspectives and clear guidance on the integration of digital technology.
You will gain valuable knowledge and expert advice to bridge the gap between understanding what works and implementing it effectively for you and your learners.

Speakers
AI for Inclusion
Equity, Accessibility & Personalisation
This session will explore the integration of AI in education, with a focus on its impact on inclusivity via three key areas, equity, accessibility and personalisation.
Our expert panellists will delve into current trends and how AI tailors educational experiences to individual needs, while addressing challenges like data bias, accessibility, and socioeconomic barriers. We’ll examine how we can address these challenges, and positively highlight opportunities for AI to enhance personalised learning and equity for all students, concluding with actionable steps to foster an inclusive, AI-driven educational future.
