In this SAS episode of Talking Teaching, Dr Sophie Specjal explores the story of Hester Hornbrook Academy, a fee-free Special Assistance School supporting young people aged 15–25 who have experienced barriers such as trauma, mental health challenges, family violence, housing instability, or prolonged disengagement from schooling. ]Joining Sophie are Sally Lasslett, Executive Principal, and Elida Brereton, board member and long-serving former principal. Together, they unpack what makes Hester Hornbrook distinctive: a healing-oriented approach to education, flexible learning environments shaped by student voice, and a multidisciplinary model that brings wellbeing and learning together, without lowering expectations. The conversation covers the reality of re-engaging students who may not yet feel safe in “traditional” schooling, the importance of staff support and supervision in high-complexity settings, and why personalised learning plans and applied learning projects can be a powerful bridge back to achievement. Sally and Elida also reflect on pathways and alumni support, and what mainstream education can learn from SAS schooling, even if it can't replicate every element at scale.

Kurt confirms the presence of free WiFi across the campus, designed to facilitate learning while also offering some degree of protection when accessing social media. The discussion then shifts towards the role of AI in education, specifically as a tool for delivering education and imparting industry-standard skills. Richard posits the idea of a future classroom devoid of physical devices, relying instead on projected information. Kurt underlines the critical role of seamless interconnectivity between individuals and information sources.Kurt shares his concerns about the responsible application of AI in educational assessments. He argues for the need for tools that can both alleviate the workload on teachers and offer rapid, quality feedback essential for personalised learning.

He also notes the increasing number of companies approaching him with AI solutions, particularly for assessment and planning, while cautioning that companies falling behind in AI advancements risk obsolescence.Further, Kurt speaks about the symbiotic relationship between Further Education institutions and businesses, stressing the importance of foundational technical training that can evolve into more advanced skill sets. Richard adds to this by discussing AI's role in administrative streamlining, such as in the automation of fee assessments.

They explore its effect on both individual learning experiences and organisational structures. The duo also ponder how AI can play a role in shaping optimal learning environments, from monitoring student engagement to fostering collaborative learning settings.

New series: Artificial Intelligence Leadership and the Future of Further EducationWith:- Richard Foster-Fletcher, Executive Chair MKAI.org Kurt Hintz, Executive Principal, Capital City College GroupEpisode 1: AI and Personalised Learning: Exploring how Artificial Intelligence might enhance the individualised learning experience Epsiode Notes:Kurt Hintz and Richard Foster-Fletcher discuss their roles in AI implementation in education, with Kurt taking on an educational leadership role and expressing concerns about its implementation. Both participants express support for AI but acknowledge the need for careful consideration in its use. Kurt shares his background as an educator and his interest in using technology to maximise the potential of education. Richard explains his motivation for working in AI and the need to navigate complex scenarios with the help of AI. They both emphasise the importance of preparing students for jobs that may not even exist yet due to rapid advancements in AI. Richard discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT on education. He highlights how students can use AI to write essays, create marketing materials, and develop business plans.Kurt emphasises the need for educators to adapt to this technology and ensure that students are at the forefront of its usage. They discuss how AI tools can enhance productivity without necessarily replacing jobs entirely. They also explore the shifting importance of knowledge in a world where information is readily accessible through technology. The conversation touches on future episodes that will delve into topics such as personalised learning, harnessing technology in education, future-proofing institutions, and data privacy concerns. Richard discusses the balance between natural human capabilities and learned behaviours in dealing with a larger number of people. He asks if having smart glasses that identify people's names and information would be useful or intrusive. Kurt expresses his enthusiasm for such technology, as it would help him remember names and personalise interactions. They discuss the expectations of knowing people's names in a large organisation and how personalisation can enhance relationships. Kurt suggests that AI skills are becoming essential in various industries, including education, and educators need to incorporate these skills into their teaching. Richard highlights the potential challenges of generative AI tools like text generation but also recognises their value when used creatively by skilled individuals. They emphasise that AI is just a tool that complements human creativity and thinking. The conversation touches on job displacement concerns but also presents opportunities for those who adapt to new technologies. Lastly, they mention the importance of personalisation in classrooms and introduce the topic of personalisation basics. Richard and Kurt discuss personalised learning and the potential impact of AI on it. Personalised learning involves having a personal coach who provides constant feedback and support. It aims to adapt teaching methods to each student's individual needs and pace. The traditional model of personalised learning existed in apprenticeships, where individuals received one-on-one guidance. However, implementing this in a classroom with multiple students is challenging but possible through differentiation. AI can potentially enhance personalised learning by constantly measuring an individual's progress against competency frameworks, eliminating the need for point assessments. This approach allows for continuous measurement of skills and abilities at an individual level.The discussion also addresses whether traditional assessment methods adequately prepare individuals for real-world work environments that involve deadlines and consistent performance over time. Additionally, the conversation highlights how AI tools can support teachers by reducing their administrative workload related to assessments, allowing them to focus more on building strong relationships with their students.

Consultants for Ag In The Classroom recently met to prepare for the upcoming teacher workshops. These consultants explain why Ag In The Classroom is so important. Grace Powell: Teaching the Teachers: Welcome and Hello to Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Grace Powell Valerie Teal: As an an educator and also as an agriculturalist. I'm trying to merge those two things together because many of my students don't have an idea of where their food or fiber comes from. Grace Powell: Agriculture is taught every day in classrooms across Tennessee. The Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation Ag in the Classroom provides content that teaches kids where their food comes from. Consultants recently met to prepare for Ag in the Classroom workshops where teachers are introduced to AG based education materials. Coffee County teacher Valerie Teal hopes to show other teachers the importance of Ag in the Classroom Valerie Teal: Living on the farm is is like nothing else. And if I can help other educators get excited about agriculture, then that is my goal. I love living on a farm and I'll hope that my excitement can come out through these sessions that we will have this summer Grace Powell: With June being dairy month the teacher and dairy farmer Laura Purtle of Murray County says teaching kids about the importance of dairy is one of her top priorities. Laura Purtle: That's one of the things that teachers in this group of consultants really enjoys doing is being able to help students understand exactly where their milk comes from cows and that all milk that comes out as white like brown cows don't make brown milk. And we like to help our students understand that the apple came from a tree and it didn't just come from a grocery store. Grace Powell: Knox County's Executive Principal, Tanna Nicely has been involved with the Ag in the Classroom for years and wants it to continue and grow. Tanna Nicely: We are making a difference. I just think our impact could be more in that. I think that's what we're trying to do is just grab those pre-service teachers before they get out of college and give them some tools to take into the classroom and integrate. That's that's the key. I feel. I feel like this the work that we do around Ag in the Classroom is not work. It's it's a mission. It's really and so I don't feel like it's work. I feel like it's just almost like spreading the gospel in the church. We're spreading the gospel of Ag Grace Powell: The Tennessee Ag in the Classroom teacher workshops will be held across the state beginning next week. For Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Grace Powell.

It's not class XII board exam results but a new Common University Entrance Exam or the CUET that will drive college admissions now. The University Grants Commission (UGC) said this test that is likely to be held in the first week of July, will be compulsory for anybody seeking admissions to undergraduate courses in all the 45 central universities from the academic year of 2022-23. This is going to be a computer-based multiple-choice test that will be held in two shifts and can be taken in 13 languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Assamese, Bengali, Punjabi, Odia, and English.  But who all are eligible to take the test and what will the CUET test students on? We'll try to answer all the FAQs around this upcoming test. However, there are also some larger questions that arise with this decision. For instance, will this be beneficial for students' education? Or will the CUET end up diluting the importance of school education and school exams? Is it important that school marks still carry some weightage? Does it level out the opportunities for student as intended? In this episode we ask teachers and educators to tell us what they have to say on this new method of admission and whether or not the CUET will reduce the burden on students.  Our guests are Ameeta Mulla Wattal, Chairperson & Executive Director of Education, Innovations and Training- DLF Foundation Schools and Scholarship Programmes; Abha Dev Habib, Professor of Physics at DU's Miranda House and a Member of Executive Council of Delhi University; and Neeti Bhalla, Executive Principal, GEMS Modern Academy, Gurugram.
