About this event

Leading AI in IB Schools: From Chaos to Comprehensive Strategy

What exactly should school leaders know about AI right now? In this full-day of professional learning, you’ll cut through the noise to focus on what truly matters for IB schools navigating the age of artificial intelligence. 
We’ll begin by unpacking the six core risks AI introduces to schools—from ethical dilemmas to safeguarding concerns—and help you assess your school’s current positioning using the Eblana 5P’s Framework: Preparation, Policies, People, Processes, and Protection.
Then, you’ll shift from insight to action. In the afternoon, leaders will craft a tailored, strategic roadmap that aligns AI governance with your school’s values, mission and the IB philosophy. You’ll leave with a practical blueprint for integrating AI into your systems, staff learning and student experiences—with clarity and confidence.
