How can thoughtful design and emerging technologies help every learner thrive?

In this episode, renowned educationalist and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) expert Beth Stark reflects on how intentional approaches can create classrooms where every learner’s unique strengths and needs are supported, and each student is equipped to succeed.

Drawing on her global experience, she discusses the power of small design shifts that build learner agency - and how LUDIA, an award-winning app she co-created, uses AI to help teachers reduce barriers and reimagine inclusion.

With warmth and optimism, Beth considers what it means to teach in an age of limitless information and constant change, suggesting that the future of education isn’t about doing more, but about going deeper - designing learning that empowers every student.

Belinda Greer is in a position most education leaders would envy. 

As CEO of the English Schools Foundation (ESF), she leads 22 schools that are full, with long waiting lists and students who consistently achieve above the global average in their academic results. So why is she driving change?

In this launch episode, Greer argues that standing still means falling behind. She sets out a bold vision for how education must evolve - embracing innovation, empowering teachers as changemakers, and staying agile to ensure students gain the knowledge and skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
