GEC (Global Equality Collective)

Hi! Today I launched a national Parent and Carer survey to better understand how homes experience schools today in the UK. I would love you to complete it. It takes about 5-10 mins. I need 10k responses by the 9th May. Pls complete and share! thegec.education/gec-homes

We are delighted to not only be listed in the Edtech 50 for 2026! And even better, we’ve made the Top 10 (at number 9) for 2026! Read what our Founding CEO @NicolePonsford says here thegec.education/blog about being recognised & join us in celebrating! 🙌

“Be authentic.” But authentic to whom? Our staff data shows authenticity isn’t the problem. Psychological safety is. If people are editing themselves to stay safe, leadership has work to do. Read our blog on this here: thegec.education/blog/authentic…

Quiet classrooms today are not the same as prepared citizens tomorrow. Read our latest blog by one of our Inclusion Champions and our Founding CEO @NicolePonsford What are your thoughts? thegec.education/blog/beyond-ba… #esafety #IntentionalInclusion #MediaLiteracy #edutwitter

@jon_hutchinson_ @researchEDBrum Let us know if you’d like our help!

I’ve spent the last three years thinking a lot about belonging. Alongside an international team as part of a fellowship we built buildingbelonging.org And at @researchEDBrum I’ll be sharing some of what we learnt. Hope to see you there!

Rural + coastal schools struggle as that lack of funds creates a barrier to excursions that would enhance classroom learning. Continued cost-of-living pressures + the burden of administration makes it a challenge to move from intentions to practise. 👉 thegec.education/the-gec-inclus…

Enrichment opportunities in school should be a leveller but the data in Edition 2 of our Inclusion Index shows that exclusion is still a persistent issue. Download Edition 2 of the Inclusion Index now 👉 thegec.education/the-gec-inclus… #IntentionalInclusion

☕️ Kettle on? This week’s February newsletter is a proper pick ’n’ mix of #Edu #EdTech and #AI. Plenty of useful stuff, thoughtful reads, and a few “wait… that’s actually brilliant” ideas (mostly not mine) . 🤖📚✨ If it saves you time, sparks a chat with peers, or gives you something to send to a colleague, or just makes you smile… give it a share. 🔁💬👇 #Education #Leadership #DigitalLearning linkedin.com/pulse/february…

@dave_mcpartlin You might like out blog on it! And yes 🙌 it is how we do it at the GEC! thegec.education/blog/positive-…

Been reading up on positive, strengths based psychology - I think knowing ourselves, knowing each other and connecting is what will get us through these tough times in education. This line has really resonated: "Most conflict at work is strengths colliding under stress."

THIS IS HUGE!! We have been working on this with our members over 2 years. Researching, using our methodology (from my doctorate) and we KNOW how long it takes. Want evidence informed inclusion? Just take a look!
