Kavitha Ravindran Co-founder, CCO, CGO, sAInaptic Professor Miles Berry Professor of Computing Education, University of Roehampton Professor Sara de Freitas University of Suffolk Director of the Digital Futures Institute Dr Detlef Nauck Head of AI and Data Science Research, Applied Research unit at BT Associate Professor Deirdre Hughes OBE Career Development Specialist, CareerChat (UK) Ltd & Warwick University IER Some schools are banning the use of chat GPT and other large language models in educational settings, but are there more nuanced approaches that can strike a balance between harnessing the benefits of AI tools and resources, and addressing ethical and practical concerns, often characterized by the media. In the age of AI, how can educational institutions strike a balance between teaching students the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and machine learning while also preparing them for the ever-evolving demands of the business world? We'll key questions to a panel of experts, such as... - What strategies or curriculum changes are needed? - What are the examples of AI being a force for good? - Are teachers aware that many of the existing online resources being used are already driven by AI? There's often a gap between the cutting-edge AI research conducted in academia and the practical applications required by businesses. How can we bridge this gap to ensure that AI research leads to real-world solutions and innovations that benefit both education and industry? Ethical considerations in AI are becoming increasingly important. How can educational institutions incorporate ethical AI training into their curricula, and how can businesses ensure that ethical practices are integrated into their AI-related projects and products? The demand for AI talent in the workforce is growing rapidly. How can businesses and industry leaders collaborate with educational institutions to ensure that graduates are well-equipped with the practical skills and knowledge required for AI-related roles?

Emma Breckenridge, Best Practice Network & Alpha Teaching School Hub, Professional Development Facilitator Join us for an engaging session that delves into the development and rationale behind a comprehensive mentoring framework known as 'ONSIDE and Educative Mentoring'. Effective support for the professional growth, development, confidence, autonomy and well-being is at the heart of the reason for combining these evidence informed mentoring models. ONSIDE Mentoring ONSIDE mentoring is a holistic, evidence informed framework designed to support early career professionals, especially teachers, in their professional development and well-being. This approach emphasises one-on-one relationships between less experienced individuals and more experienced mentors, with a primary focus on nurturing learning, growth, and negotiation of professional cultures. It considers the unique challenges faced by early career professionals, making it a valuable tool for fostering their success and resilience in educational settings and beyond. Its primary purpose is to bolster the mentee's learning, personal development, and overall well-being, all while helping them navigate the intricacies of both their employing organization and the broader profession. We will focus on the practical implementation of mentoring as a formal arrangement, often occurring within the context of larger schemes or programs, making it accessible and valuable for both mentors and mentees. This session promises to shed light on the vital role mentoring plays in fostering professional growth and nurturing the well-being of early career professionals. Educative Mentoring Educative mentoring is a collaborative, knowledge-sharing relationship between an experienced educator and a less-experienced learner, aimed at facilitating the latter's professional growth and development. Unlike traditional mentoring, educative mentoring places a strong emphasis on active learning, critical reflection, and the co-construction of knowledge. It encourages mentees to take an active role in their learning journey, engaging in meaningful discussions, exploring pedagogical approaches, and fostering a deep understanding of educational principles. Through this dynamic process, educators not only gain valuable insights but also develop a sense of ownership over their professional development, ultimately leading to improved teaching practices and enhanced student outcomes. Combining Educative and ONSIDE mentoring in a structured framework helps.... 1. Personalized Support: Onside and educative mentoring tailors guidance to individual needs, ensuring personalised professional development. 2. Skill Enhancement: These mentoring models empower mentees to actively improve their skills through reflective practice and active learning. 3. Holistic Growth: They foster holistic growth, nurturing not only professional competencies but also wellbeing and confidence. 4. Knowledge Sharing: Onside and educative mentoring promote the exchange of expertise and experiences, enriching both mentors and mentees. 5. Resilience Building: Early career professionals benefit from resilience-building support, helping them navigate challenges effectively. 6. Ownership of Learning: Educative mentoring encourages learners to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering a sense of responsibility. 7. Pedagogical Exploration: Educative mentoring facilitates deep pedagogical exploration, resulting in enhanced teaching practices. 8. Professional Culture: Onside mentoring assists in navigating organisational and professional cultures, easing integration. 9. Support Networks: These models expand support networks, creating a sense of belonging and community among educators. 10. Enhanced Outcomes: Onside and educative mentoring contribute to improved teaching practices, student outcomes, and overall career success.

Supported by ONE Sixth Form College, Suffolk Computing Hub, Eastern Education Group, East Bergholt High School, Ipswich Academy and St Albans High School. Funded by the Department for Education, this program from the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) brings together professional development, curriculum resources, and enrichment materials. Its goal is to address barriers faced by girls in computing. The first step involves understanding the factors contributing to the underrepresentation of girls in computer science. Equipped with strategies and resources, schools can tackle these challenges head-on. By consolidating everything in one place, the program streamlines progress. Schools that provide evidence in the certificate sections can claim recognition certificates. These initial steps pave the way for gender balance in computing. Success is more likely when colleagues and school leaders join the mission. Attend the impactful 'Encouraging Girls into GCSE Computer Science' CPD to deepen your understanding and earn the I Belong Champion digital badge. This initiative unites educators with the common purpose of supporting more girls in pursuing computer science careers and educational pathways.
