What new research tells us about the pedagogical perils of "dehumanised" feedback

Quiet quit your TEFL job? Here's how to fall back in love with teaching using Action Research - turn your classroom into a laboratory and rediscover curiosity.

This report highlights the work of our Alliance and Communities of Practice Members in advancing EdTech, Foundational Literacy and Numeracy, and STEM initiatives across lower-resource contexts. It also shares aspirations and strategic priorities for 2026.

This article aims to set out the parameters faced by educators in the light of the rapid development of AI programmes. There are also the philosophical challenges that we face which is a major subject for further discussion. The thesis, that to counter or balance the impact of AI we must improve our education system and modernise it to prepare our students for a rapidly changing world.

I recently encountered a term that stopped me in my tracks - cognitive outsourcing (thanks to Professor Miles Berry for that one!). We're all well-acquainted with cognitive offloading. That's the act of letting a tool take the weight of a task so we don't have to. But "outsourcing"? That feels different. It sounds distinctly middle-class,…

AI is everywhere, kids are using it constantly, and nobody has answers.
But instead of turning to another AI-obsessed expert or doomsday neuroscientist, what if we just…asked the kids?
How are they using AI? What is their relationship with this technology? Are they self-aware enough to know what’s happening? Are they able to set boundaries and use it correctly?

The Portrait of a Teacher project aims to redefine the role of educators in response to the rapid technological and workforce changes shaping society.

The DfE published its updated Generative AI Product Safety Standards on 19 January 2026. They are, in principle, exactly what education needed. Guardrails for AI in schools. Protections for children. A clear statement that developers can't just ship consumer AI into classrooms and hope for the best. And overnight, they've made the AI tools most…

Until a few months ago, for the vast majority of people, “using AI” meant talking to a chatbot in a back-and-forth conversation. But over the past few months, it has become practical to use AI as an agent: you can assign them to a task and they do them, using tools as appropriate. Because of this change, you have to consider three things when deciding what AI to use: Models, Apps, and Harnesses.

Learn how educators developed practical solutions to issues faced by schools across the globe in our brand new collection of short evidence-based articles.

How can we evaluate, integrate and govern these rapidly evolving technologies responsibly, so that they enrich rather than displace the irreplaceable human elements of education? We have
written this book to try and address these questions, to ofer guidance for realizing GenAI’s potential while upholding the values of thoughtful pedagogy and academic rigour.
