Becky Allen - The Next Big Thing in School Improvement

This week we are privileged to welcome Becky Allen to the show. Becky has spent the past 15 years researching and writing about schools. She is the co-founder and Chief Analyst at TeacherTapp, the daily survey and CPD tool. She is also a Professor of Education at the University of Brighton. From 2014-2017, I founded and led the highly successful independent research organisation, Education Datalab and was Professor of Education at UCL Institute of Education until December 2018. In 2018, Becky published a book with Sam Sims called The Teacher Gap. Some of the ideas in the book were taken up by politicians, particularly in relation to the early years of a teacher’s career. She was then asked by the DfE to chair a working group which made recommendations about how data should be used in schools. In 2021, she publishing a book with Matt Evans and Ben White called The Next Big Thing in School Improvement. Becky talks with insight and wisdom on the curriculum, data and school improvement and how we can make schools better places to learn.
