In the first episode of our series, we speak with Chris Goodall, Head of Digital Education at Bourne Education Trust, about his pioneering work in integrating AI across 26 schools.
Chris shares his strategies for getting staff on board with AI, offering practical tips and insights into how he conducts training sessions. He provides real-life examples of how AI is being used within the trust to reduce workloads, enhance teaching and learning, and drive leadership innovation.
Throughout the episode, Chris discusses both the risks and rewards of AI in education, including its impact on the digital divide. He also tackles the big question: Is AI a threat to the teaching profession? And, what might classrooms of the future look like?
In addition to his expertise in digital education, Chris opens up about his personal leadership journey, from lessons learned during his life coach training to his adventurous trek to Mount Everest's base camp.
