Thank you to everyone who attended Raising Attainment Middle East on 23rd March 2021.

Organised by the Outstanding Schools teams, school leaders set out to give their students the best chance of success in 2021 and to consider how to raise attainment over the next 5 years.

The event included 15 hours of CPD accredited content, with 50% presentations and panels designed to stimulate new thinking and 50% interactive roundtables and workshops facilitating reflection and collaboration.

Please check out our Teacher Retention and Professional Development event, 9th June and our flagship event, Outstanding Schools Middle East, October 2021.

Principals, Academic Heads, Heads of Teaching & Learning and Heads of Curriculum and/or Assessment from international schools across the Middle East:

• Identified different types of learning loss as they calculated how to do the best by students facing a mix of internally and externally validated summative assessments
• Considered how to support portfolio building to supplement accrediting their skills and talents
• Worked out long-term solutions for raising attainment over the next 5 years
• Decided what hybrid learning models they would retain, replace and remove post-pandemic
• Concluded methods that improve validity and reliability of assessments and more robust and valuable formative assessment and feedback methods
• Debated the possibilities for a more personalised delivery of the curriculum using intelligent adaptive learning models

The conference agenda was made up of a mix of presentations and panel debates for inspiration and “video-on” workshops and roundtable discussions for interaction and collaboration.

The event also facilitated networking via break-out rooms and 1-to-1 meetings. This was all delivered via our event platform, Swapcard.
