Invited keynote speaker at Trinity College, Oxford Teacher Professional Development event, ‘Enrichment and predictors of prior attainment’ (Feb 2024) -- see an excerpt of teachers' feedback here;
"The most useful part of the day was Dr Susila Davis' session! The data was a compelling argument and the importance of intervention at early secondary made clear."
"Susie's session set the stage as to why it's important to start enrichment in earlier years of school, rather than only at sixth form."
"It can be easy to engage with those who are more keen, or the 'highest achievers', to access enrichment opportunities. Dr Davis really clarified the importance of reaching those who might seem harder to reach or less willing to engage at first."
