Speaking on AI, Leadership and Reflective Practice

I speak to school, trust and conference audiences about responsible AI adoption, coaching at scale and leading change with clarity.

Drawing on current school leadership and the experience of building Starlight, I bring practical examples, lessons from implementation and questions leaders can use with their own teams. Sessions connect emerging technology with the everyday work of teaching and professional learning.
