Phase 1: AI in the School Workspace

Phase 1: AI in the School Workspace *
Now that AI is here, the implications for curriculum leaders and teachers are profound for scrutinising its impact on creating teaching and learning that values the productive struggle.
From the outset, therefore, nothing is as important as dealing with the presence of AI technologies on learning concepts and skills as part of the school’s ethical and pedagogical practices.
Consequently, the use cases for Phase 1 explore how the school community’s manage the teacher’s commitment to students’ academic achievement and wellbeing.
The follow use cases deal with two areas of the school curriculum workspace in which curriculum leaders and teachers ensure that AI policies and classroom practices align:
Data privacy
Assessment efficacy
Setting Up: Assessment Policy to Whole School Practice
-

-
We refine end-to-end workflows, eliminating redundancies and embedding continuous improvement protocols.
-
We cultivate expertise through structured training and mentorship that empower teams to drive sustained progress.
-
school workspaces should instead help leaders redesign assessments around process-based work, sequential
