Al's Take
AI continues to shake up education, but the key is how we use it to support real teaching and learning. Inclusion remains a top priority, with new tools and policies shaping more accessible schools. Plus, plenty of leadership roles are opening up – a sign that education needs strong, forward-thinking leaders now more than ever.
