The AI Gap in the Classroom - Using it vs Understanding it: TTR Special
AI is already changing how young people learn but are students learning to understand it, or simply learning to use it? In this special live show, Tom Rogers and Matthew Wemyss are joined by Emma Staves and Rehana Al-Soltane from the Raspberry Pi Foundation to explore why AI literacy belongs in every classroom - not just in computing. In this show, discussion will include: • What AI literacy actually means • How teachers can help students question AI-generated information • The biggest misconceptions young people have about AI • Why students sometimes treat AI systems as if they were human • How AI literacy can be introduced across subjects including English, science, geography, art and PE • Practical ways to teach AI without being an AI expert Emma and Rehana will also introduce Experience AI: a collection of free, classroom-ready resources developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in collaboration with Google DeepMind. Experience AI resources have been downloaded more than one million times across 195+ countries, while its global partner network has trained over 56,000 educators reaching an estimated 5.2 million learners. Join us live and share your questions and experiences in the chat.

Are young people ‘snowflakes’ or is mental distress on the rise?: Points of View
An independent review into mental health, ADHD and autism, conducted by Professor Peter Fonagy, has found that there has been a real rise in mental distress amongst the younger generation, with anxiety, depression, self-harm and eating disorders the most common challenges facing our young people. The review came as a result of a claim by then-health secretary Wes Streeting that young people were over-diagnosed and "written off". Last year, a BBC report found many GPs also had concerns about over-diagnosis, with the view that normal life stresses were becoming medicalised. Professor Fonagy, a clinical psychologist and adviser to NHS England, has spoken to the BBC ahead of the publication of the review, which concludes that around one in four 16-24 year olds now struggle with their mental health, and NHS figures show the number of young people having contact with mental health services has increased by 50% in the last five years. The debate, however, is still fierce. Are we facing a real terms mental distress crisis? Are we more aware of our mental health and therefore seeking help earlier? Is the expectation of resilience an outdated concept? Join Maud Waret, Michael Wright, Ollie Bayliss and Liz Webb live at 8 pm tonight to share your views.

From Judgement to Growth: When Teacher Coaching Is Built on Trust | The Lunch Show with Famida Choudhary
Join me, Famida Choudhary, on The Lunch Show in conversation with educational leader Jahida Janna as we explore how instructional coaching can move beyond evaluation to become a meaningful opportunity for teacher development. Drawing on Jahida’s action research, we unpack the relationship between trust, teacher self-efficacy and sustained classroom improvement. What makes feedback genuinely developmental? How can coaches challenge teachers without undermining their confidence? And what role do school leaders play in creating cultures where educators feel safe to reflect, take risks and grow? Through research, practical coaching conversations and honest reflections, we explore how supporting teachers can create lasting change in classrooms. Because meaningful coaching is not just about improving teaching. It is about empowering teachers to believe in their capacity to grow.

Should every school sanction be open to parental challenge?: Points of View
A high-achieving student in the US was suspended after refusing to throw away a coffee she brought into class. Her mother challenged the punishment and questioned whether the school had introduced its new food and drink policy legally. School leaders subsequently allowed the student to return to class with her drink and agreed to hold a properly publicised hearing. Was this a sensible parental challenge to an excessive punishment or another example of schools being prevented from enforcing basic expectations? This week on Points of View, the panel asks whether parents should support school rules even when they disagree with them, whether sanctions have become disproportionate, and why relatively minor incidents can now escalate into formal complaints and public campaigns. Have some parents come to expect a personalised response to every disagreement? Are schools communicating poorly and hiding behind rigid behaviour policies? And when parents, pupils and teachers cannot agree, who should have the final say? On the panel: Ollie Bayliss, JP, Liz Webb and Maud Waret.
