What are the opportunities and challenges we face in education
today? Could the outcomes of learning be measured in a more
holistic way? Why is now the right time to rethink the purpose of
education? These are just a handful of the questions we discussed
with Dame Alison Peacock in the most recent episode of our Future
of Education podcast.
Dame Alison Peacock is chief executive of the Chartered College of
Teaching, a new professional body that seeks to raise teachers'
status through celebrating, supporting and connecting them to
provide expert teaching and leadership. Prior to joining the
Chartered College, Dame Alison was executive headteacher of The
Wroxham School in Hertfordshire. Her career to date has spanned
primary, secondary and advisory roles. She is an honorary fellow of
Queens College Cambridge and UCL, a visiting professor of both the
University of Hertfordshire and Glyndŵr University and a trustee
for Big Change. Her research is published in a series of books
about 'learning without limits', offering an alternative approach
to inclusive school improvement.
