In addition, participants will learn how AI Agents can assist with meeting minute preparation, document drafting and routine administrative processes. No programming knowledge is required. By leveraging AI effectively, teachers can improve work efficiency and dedicate more time to teaching practice, student support and meaningful teacher-student interaction.

Key Highlights:

• Leverage AI assistants to support lesson preparation by automatically identifying key teaching points and learning progression from uploaded teaching materials, incorporating values education elements, and generating differentiated questions according to students’ varying learning abilities to cater for learning diversity
• Demonstrate how customised "Skills" can be used to accurately replicate the layout and question styles of existing worksheets, enabling the rapid creation of new school-based teaching materials, exercises and assessment items while improving resource development efficiency
• Utilise AI Agents to assist with meeting minutes preparation, document drafting and routine administrative processes, streamlining workflows and effectively reducing the administrative workload of teachers and school teams
