Artificial Intelligence in schools is new and emerging, and yet already it has the potential to support the goals of inclusive education by providing unique, personalised learning experiences.
AI-powered tools can support teachers and families to imagine new ideas to support neurodivergent learners, and can be tailored to the individual needs of students in new and exciting ways. We continue to listen to student experience and interrogate the philosophical implications of AI as the technology develops going forward.
We have run a number of webinars on the topic - you can find recordings of those on this page.
Our Manager of Technology and Innovation, Craig Smith, also delivered a TEDx talk on AI and executive functioning in October 2024. The recording can be viewed above.
Below you'll find resources and links mentioned throughout these webinars to support your learning and further engagement with this field.
