Many leaders know they want an AI curriculum in place but aren't sure how to sequence it, where it fits alongside existing subjects, or what year one should realistically look like. In this practical 30-minute session, Rachel and Kim walk through the AI Curriculum's scope and sequence, showing how to build a first-year pathway and align AI units with what you're already teaching.
AI is now everyday infrastructure in schools, not a novelty in one classroom, and most schools still have real gaps: an unratified AI policy, patchy staff training, and untested claims from vendors. In this 45-minute live session, Rita Bateson and Rachel Bodily walk international school leaders through seven concrete shifts worth acting on this year, drawn from Eblana's work with 100+ schools.
AI is already in your school - but is it connected, strategic, and actually making an impact?
We help schools adopt AI with pedagogy first and hype last. From whole-school strategy to classroom practice, our team works with leaders and teachers to make AI safe, purposeful and practical.
