Overview

How can we move our staff beyond simply policing AI and start building a culture of effective and ethical use? This session details the journey of a successful Digital Literacy Coach pilot program within a systemic Catholic high school. I will share a low-cost model for embedding AI literacy across the curriculum, from a Year 7 "AI Bootcamp" to redesigning senior assessment tasks to be AI-aware. This presentation will offer a transparent look at what works, sharing some practical strategies that translate diocesan-level policy into tangible classroom practice. Attendees will learn about pioneering initiatives that use AI to increase teacher capacity, provide authentic learning experiences, and even leverage data. This session provides a replicable, grassroots framework for schools seeking to implement a meaningful AI strategy without an independent school budget. Key Takeaways for Participants: • A Demonstrated Framework: Learn how to implement a cohesive, whole-school strategy for AI literacy and academic integrity, moving from a "piecemeal" approach to a structured model. • Practical Classroom Applications: Overview and demonstration of developed strategies for redesigning assessments, developing student-led ethical guidelines, and using AI as an "educational data expert" to guide teaching. • Teacher & Staff Empowerment: Discover how a dedicated coaching role can reduce teacher workload, build staff capacity, and achieve exceptionally high engagement in professional learning.
