STAFF MEETING WORKSHOP "SAME PAGE"

Course Code: 101SMW

Date/Time: As negotiated by you!

I offer a one-hour online session that can be delivered during a staff meeting, where I provide a clear, balanced overview of AI use by educators. The session is designed so all staff hear the same message at the same time, with clarity around opportunities, risks, and boundaries.

Importantly, I handle the tricky questions — including concerns about ethics, workload, student use, and where the lines are — so principals don’t have to navigate these conversations alone or on the fly.

Schools use this session to:

prevent awkward or risky situations developing later,
clarify expectations and boundaries for staff use,
address any questionable practices early and professionally,
and ensure teachers and support staff are aligned before exploring AI tools further.
