"An incredibly positive experience, with relevant advice and experience from seasoned educators. The sessions were largely given by educators who could speak to experience within the classroom and a school setting. All sessions felt as though they had tangible advice to offer that could then be taken directly into your classroom."

"The practical activities that the speakers involved us in were fantastic. I love PD thats hands on, practical PD that I can take back to school and use straight away and share with my colleagues."

"The event was thoughtfully curated, engaging, and full of practical insights for Teacher Librarians and educators navigating the evolving educational landscape. I was inspired by sessions on digital technologies, AI, evidence-based literacy, collaborative teaching strategies, and creative approaches to resource curation."

"Attending the AI in the Classroom stream at the National Education Summit was both inspiring and practical. It reinforced the importance of building staff capability, developing clear policies, and using AI ethically to enhance teaching and learning. The insights I gained are now directly shaping our AI in Action project, where we're focused on reducing teacher workload, increasing student engagement, and preparing our learners for the future."
