Private School Exploration Conference: A New Era for Self-Directed Learning

On September 25, 2025, Code Takt is set to host its inaugural Private School Exploration Conference. This online event aims to introduce and engage educators in innovative strategies for supporting self-directed learning among students. The primary theme for this first session is "Mitori"—understanding and observing students' learning processes.

Empowering Educators through Data

The conference will feature notable speakers, including Yohei Ikita, a teacher from HILLOCK Elementary School, and Hiroyuki Taira, a school DX strategy advisor and facilitator. Together, they will explore the integration of data in assessing students’ learning experiences. This data-driven perspective aims to enrich traditional methods of understanding individual students’ thoughts and interactions.

In today’s diverse educational landscape, where collaborative and exploratory learning is becoming more popular, it is no longer feasible for teachers to rely solely on intuition and personal experiences to gauge each student's progress. This is where the conference seeks to innovate by marrying educators’ expertise with data analytics, offering insights on how to better support self-directed learners.

Learning from Practical Experiences

The event will showcase practical implementations of data utilization in classrooms through case studies presented by Ikita. The session also promises to delve into how the functionalities of School Takt, such as the "Interaction Map," can visualize student engagement and relationships, helping attendees glean actionable insights for their own educational practices. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to capture and apply educational data to enhance teaching strategies and improve student interactions.

Who Should Attend?

This conference is tailored for teachers and educational professionals from private elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as integrated junior and senior high schools. However, public school representatives are also welcome.

Attendees will benefit from:

• - New perspectives on enhancing quality in school-wide education and establishing a unique ethos.
• - Insights into evidence-based educational improvement strategies.
• - Methods for objectively recognizing small developmental milestones of students.
• - Opportunities to network and gain knowledge from peers in other schools on tackling educational challenges.

Background of the Speakers

Yohei Ikita has been shaping young minds for over ten years in private elementary education. Since co-founding HILLOCK Elementary School in Setagaya in 2022, he focuses on real-time learning environments that emphasize student-led projects and themes.

Hiroyuki Taira launched the Future Institute in 1999, adhering to a guiding principle of making schools more "Future Ready." His extensive background in educational consulting and method development for schools makes his insights valuable for attendees looking to innovate their curricula.
