Welcome to the video and audio archives of our acclaimed national conferences supporting the transformation of learning
These conferences have provided timely, useful and practical support to everyone involved in transforming secondary and/or primary education through programmes such as Building Schools for the Future (BSF), City Academies, City Technology Colleges (CTCs), Initial Teacher Training, City Learning Centres (CLCs) and other national and local initiatives.
The aim has been to learn from outstanding speakers who are leading figures in this field and who can both inspire and also provide practical down-to-earth support with successful implementation.
Our focus has remained upon how the effective use of appropriate technologies can best support learners, teachers and school improvement.
Technology and new buildings alone will not transform our schools – only teachers and school leaders can achieve this. We believe that the greatest challenge lies in preparing our existing teachers, school leaders and school improvement professionals to be both comfortable and highly effective in the new technology-rich learning environments.
These conferences were organised and run by Stoke-on-Trent City Learning Centres as part of their on-going commitment to support the transformation agenda in schools locally and nationally.
