What does a great education look like? Voices from inclusive practice — Kerrie King, Melanie Baggaley, Nick Binns and Kate Foxon

This interactive discussion will bring together educators and practitioners to explore how inclusive, learner-centred approaches can support learners to thrive. Drawing on examples from a range of settings, including ASDAN members, the session will share effective practice, celebrate learner achievement and explore how practical, flexible and skills-led learning can support personal growth, engagement and future aspirations. Delegates will hear from professionals using ASDAN courses and qualifications, while considering wider questions about what meaningful learning looks like for all learners. The session will also provide opportunities to share ideas, reflect on challenges and build valuable professional connections.
