AI PD in Your School: Practical AI Integration for Educators

Practical AI Integration for Educators

Empowering Educators with Knowledge, Skills, and Confidence to Harness AI Effectively

Bring 407 Learning to your school to up-skill your staff on the key challenge and opportunity in the 21st Century – AI in Education. This is a workshop focused on skills that will be suitable for educators that are just getting started with AI or that are already leaders in your organization.

Overview

This hands-on workshop equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to harness AI effectively. Designed to support educators to guide both colleagues and learners, this experience focuses on practical approaches to AI integration that enhance teaching and learning.

We’ll be exploring workflows and approaches that are applicable and transferable across all of the major Gen-AI tools e.g. Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude. Engaging in interactive activities, to collaboratively create AI prompts, workflows, and resources tailored to their context. Activities will cater to all experience levels to support educators at all stages of their AI journey. They will also redesign assessments, testing existing tasks with AI to rebuild them for measuring creativity, problem-solving, and deeper thinking.

This experience aims to build collective expertise, fostering confident leaders ready to guide colleagues and students in using AI thoughtfully and effectively within their schools.

A huge thank you to you Steve (workshop facilitator) for leading us with care, commitment and expertise. Each step of the journey was well orchestrated and set us all up to feel more capacity and more excitement. Thank you! We hope to see you again

Joanne Wynn, High School Principal, Canadian International School Phnom Penh

Enjoyable and informative workshop. It covered a wide range of issues regarding implementation of AI in a school context. Good to share ideas with others who are in a similar position regarding AI implementation in school.

This was extremely helpful for our school as ideas and resources provided spanned across grade levels. I appreciated the ability to have work-time to explore and connect with other educators during the workshop as well.

It was the perfect balance between learning and doing. Very clear instructions, slides and prompts. It was great, thank you!

I’m pretty good with AI, but this showed me how I could take my skills to the next level and how to support other teachers
