Bedrock Talks from Bedrock Learning

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Alex Hibble from EdProof, who draws on her psychology expertise from the University of Oxford and her experience with innovative educational practices. We delve into the integration of technologies like ChatGPT in schools and discuss how EdProof helps measure key aspects of student well-being and engagement. Alex shares insights on adopting a holistic approach to student development that transcends traditional academic metrics.

We also explore the broader impacts of a grade-focused education system and a competitive job market on student well-being and motivation. The episode examines the links between addictive behaviors, as outlined in "Dopamine Nation," and academic achievement pressures. We discuss EdProof's pioneering methods for assessing and enhancing student growth beyond test scores, including strategies for aligning student competencies with national benchmarks.

Furthermore, we highlight the crucial role of teacher-student relationships in fostering student engagement and addressing individual needs, particularly for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The conversation covers the importance of personalized teaching approaches and maintaining inclusivity in the classroom to ensure all students have the necessary support to succeed.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on transforming educational practices to better support every student's potential.
