Reed Webinar Series: Reimagining education with Dr Maddi Popoola, Dr Sarah Sivers & Louise McDonagh
- This event has passed.
Reimagining Education is a book, published recently by Dr Maddi Popoola, Dr Sarah Sivers and Louise McDonaugh. The webinar will explore the key theses of the book, which draws from relational and trauma-informed approaches. Building on their previous pupil views work, Reimagining Education explores ways to design and sustain a successful school system, through the eyes and experiences of children and young people.
Chapters consider a range of themes, from mentally healthy schools to attendance and academic pressure, to build the vision of a compassionate school where no child is left behind or excluded. Each topic is introduced through the voices and views of children, who reflect on their experiences and tell us what would make it better and create a sense of belonging for all. These themes are explored alongside key psychological theory, before accessible strategies and recommendations for change are introduced.
The webinar will bring rich discussion about the themes within the book and invite colleagues to into the conversation.
