Hyderabad (Telangana) [India]December 12: As AI reshapes classrooms, assessments, and school leadership across the world, Oakridge International School in Gachibowli recently hosted a first-of-its-kind conference, 'Teaching with AI: Shaping the Future of Education', for educators across Hyderabad. The conference brought together senior leaders from top schools across Hyderabad to explore how artificial intelligence can be used meaningfully and responsibly to transform teaching, learning and leadership.The conference featured a high-impact keynote and workshop by international leadership coach Ann Palmer, who guided attendees through a practical framework on AI-enabled leadership, change management, and preparing students for an AI-enabled future.“We explored leadership in the context of schools, reflecting and setting intentions and actions for staff to delve deeper into their roles and make leadership more visible across the school. We focused on AI in education, the myths, realities and fears, and how to use AI sustainably, keeping in mind data protection, organic thinking and student safety,” said Dipika Rao, Principal, Oakridge International School, Gachibowli.Designed as a working forum rather than a traditional seminar, the conference provided participants with an opportunity to understand global trends in AI in education and its impact on schools in India, explore real-world classroom use cases ranging from personalized learning, assessment, and data-driven decision-making, reflect on ethical, welfare, and safeguarding considerations for the use of AI in schools, and network and collaborate with colleagues on common challenges and opportunities. “In this changing AI framework, leaders must develop skills to lead their communities safely while incorporating AI practices in schools. By working together, industry and schools can replace fear with enthusiasm and positivity as we move towards the future together,” added Dipika Rao.A highlight of the conference was Ann Palmer's session on meaningful AI leadership, where she urged school leaders to move beyond seeing AI as a “tool” and treat it as a catalyst for rethinking pedagogy, leadership culture, and school operations. Participants considered how AI can support differentiated instruction, reduce the burden on teachers in planning and assessment, and allow schools to develop more intentional student well-being strategies.“The key is to recognize the possibilities that AI brings. As learner leaders, we need to understand the capabilities of AI and take advantage of the technology now. I hope that Oak Ridge will adapt and evolve its leadership within the AI framework and become a leader in the education fraternity.” I chose to come to Oak Ridge because they have great staff and great potential, and I look forward to seeing how leadership training transforms practice and impacts children, leaders, parents, and everyone at the school,” said Anne Palmer, international leadership coach and conference keynote speaker.The conference also highlighted Oakridge Gachibowli's efforts to become AI-ready, intentionally using digital tools to personalize learning and support student growth. Platforms like Raz-Plus, ManageBac, Turnitin, Revision Village, New Scientist, CPOMS, JSTOR, and JCS Online are integrated across grade levels to increase literacy, track progress, encourage academic integrity, support wellness, and connect learners to global resources.With 'Teaching with AI: Shaping the Future of Education', Oakridge Gachibowli has taken the important step of convening education leaders in Hyderabad around a common agenda, ensuring that AI acts as a force for deeper learning, greater inclusion, and future-ready skills for all children.As a leading international school organization, we are creating a generation of creative and resilient global citizens who leave school equipped with everything they need to succeed in whatever they choose or do in life.Our strong academic foundation combines world-class teaching and curriculum with state-of-the-art technology and facilities to create a learning experience like no other.
