Your School's AI Roadmap: A Leadership Summit
Get your cluster of schools together and build IMPERATIVE guidelines and policy for your kura.
Get your cluster of schools together and build IMPERATIVE guidelines and policy for your kura.
AI is here, and it's reshaping education. As a leader, you have a unique opportunity to guide your schools through this transformation with a unified, strategic approach. This is not about being reactive; it's about being proactive and positioned for the future.
Recent research shows that as few as 8% of schools in New Zealand have clear AI policies or guidelines for their staff and students. This stark statistic highlights a significant gap in our education system and a pressing need for a structured, strategic response.
This summit is designed for principals and senior leaders who want to move beyond the hype and create a practical, safe, and effective AI implementation plan for their entire cluster.
Why a Collaborative Approach?
Tackling AI policy and adoption on your own can feel overwhelming. Every school is grappling with similar challenges — protecting student data, safeguarding academic integrity, supporting teachers with workload, and ensuring students use AI safely and effectively. Yet many schools are working in isolation, trying to solve problems that their peers are also facing.
By collaborating as a group, you gain the advantage of shared expertise, diverse perspectives, and collective problem-solving. This not only reduces risk but also creates clarity and consistency across schools, giving teachers the confidence to integrate AI into their pedagogy and helping students build the skills they need for the future. Instead of each school reinventing the wheel, a unified approach produces frameworks that are practical, sustainable, and rooted in your community’s values.
Most importantly, collaboration ensures the outcomes extend beyond policy. Teachers feel supported rather than burdened, and students benefit from safer, smarter, and more purposeful use of AI in their learning. This summit is your opportunity to turn a complex challenge into a collective strength, positioning your cluster or Kāhui Ako as leaders in responsible, future-focused AI adoption.

The Not so Fine Print
Alright, deep breath everyone, here comes the 'official bit' – yes, it's our much-anticipated Terms & Conditions! We genuinely try to keep things as exciting and straightforward as possible around here, but there’s always a little necessary 'housekeeping' to ensure we're all on the same wavelength.

However, these carefully crafted words are genuinely packed with all the important details, the 'what ifs', and the mutual understandings that help us set clear expectations from the get-go.
Ultimately, they’re here to pave the way, ensuring that every aspect of our event runs as smoothly as a well-oiled machine, and that you, our valued attendees, have a crystal-clear picture of how things work. This way, we can all focus wholeheartedly on soaking up the knowledge, making connections, and having an absolutely brilliant, inspiring, and wonderfully hiccup-free conference experience together!
