In this episode of Trailblazing Schools, Trudy Graham explores how AI can serve as a thinking partner for school leaders, reducing cognitive load and freeing up time for leadership. Trudy begins with her story of how she began to explore AI and understand the benefits for teachers and school leaders, and why it’s not a replacement for judgment. She highlights the difference between leadership, and the administration of leadership, noting that using AI for planning, communication, and documentation saves hours and reduces stress but doesn’t replace the human work. Trudy shares real-world examples of AI in action, practical steps for implementation, and some advice to get started.Resources:Find out more about the Leaders Learning Circle here https://www.trudygraham.com.au/leaders-learning-circle/ Get your copy of AI in Action: Field Notes from School Leaders.
