With Microsoft UK and Nurture. For school and trust leaders in the United Kingdom.
School and trust leaders are under pressure to raise attainment while protecting teacher time. In this 30-minute leadership session, Professor Dylan Wiliam and Wessex MAT CEO Mike Foley join Nurture and Microsoft UK to show how AI-powered formative assessment can become the core lever for school improvement, not just another initiative.
In this webinar we discuss
- Why formative assessment is the most powerful bridge between teaching and learning.
- Formative assessment at scale — using Nurture to close the feedback loop and increase student reflection.
- Embedding a culture where students act on feedback and grow as self-regulated learners.
- Prioritising among competing initiatives so formative assessment becomes a trust-wide focus.
- Keeping pedagogy before AI — using technology to free teacher time for high-impact classroom decisions.
