As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into the educational landscape, schools need to look beyond the effectiveness of AI tools and establish a clear strategic direction through systematic evaluation, governance, and policy development. This seminar will showcase authentic school-based practices and practical demonstrations, illustrating how AI can be effectively applied to teaching, administrative tasks, and school management to enhance operational efficiency and support student learning.

The seminar will explore key topics including AI literacy, school-wide AI usage guidelines, and the strengths and limitations of large language models (LLMs), helping schools balance educational benefits, costs, risks, and governance considerations.  Through the sharing of practical school-based AI Agent implementation cases, the seminar will support school leaders in developing AI roadmaps tailored to their school contexts, and promote the safe, effective and sustainable adoption of AI in schools.

Key Highlights:
• Explore the key considerations for adopting AI in schools, drawing on real challenges and needs, and learn how to develop an AI strategy and implementation roadmap aligned with your school's context

• Understand the essential AI literacy competencies for teachers and students, and explore AI usage guidelines, data privacy, academic integrity, and risk management considerations to support the development of school-based AI policies

• Discover how AI can support lesson planning, student learning, administrative tasks, and school management through authentic school case studies and practical examples

• Examine the strengths and limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs), and learn how to select suitable AI tools, manage costs effectively, and maximise the value and accuracy of AI applications

• Gain insights into the development and implementation of customised AI Agents, including practical use cases such as school notice generation, parent communication support, and electronic vote counting, and explore how AI can be integrated into everyday school workflows

• Learn how to integrate AI meaningfully into pedagogical approaches such as inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning and project-based learning, fostering students’ communication, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving skills
