About the Event

How can school leaders help educators move beyond AI tool-chasing and toward real, strategic professional growth? This online gathering will help IB school leaders kickstart the new academic year with a clear, intentional approach to integrating AI into teacher growth and learning. Rather than reacting to hype over the latest tools, you’ll focus on what actually matters: aligning AI with your school’s mission, safeguarding responsibilities and professional learning goals.  You’ll walk away with a planning framework and key considerations to make AI a meaningful part of your school’s 2025–2026 PD calendar.
