Following the recent announcements of Laura Knight and Claire Archibald as the first members of the Teachmate Advisory Group (TAG), we are pleased to officially introduce the panel’s third member: Daniel Emmerson.
The Advisory Group was created to bring fresh perspective and external challenge to all of our work here at Teachmate. By drawing together specialists from different corners of education, technology, strategy and governance, the Teachmate Advisory Group guarantees our platform will grow in ways that are ambitious yet practical, and innovative yet responsible. Meeting three times a year, members will provide constructive insight that will help us stay focussed on supporting teachers while ensuring we maintain the highest standards of ethics, safety and compliance at the core of everything we build.
