✨ AI FOR TEACHERS
This term, I ran a series of professional development sessions exploring the Brisk AI Tool for Teachers. Delivered through an opt-in model, the sessions were well attended by staff keen to explore how AI can genuinely support our teaching practice.
✨ TEACHER WORKLOAD
The focus was twofold: saving time and enhancing relational pedagogy. Brisk’s features—such as automated feedback, quick rubric generation, and integrated writing tools—are designed to ease teacher workload without compromising on quality. But more importantly, we explored how these efficiencies create space for what really matters: meaningful teacher-student relationships. In addition, we spoke about the importance of privacy and how important it is to protect ourselves and our students in the ever-growing world of AI.
✨ RELATIONAL PEDAGOGY
By freeing up time spent on administrative tasks, teachers can focus more on connection, feedback, and presence in the classroom. The Boost feature means that students can get individualised tutor assistance while teachers are working with small groups.
✨ VALUES CENTRED
The conversations sparked during these sessions were thoughtful, future-focused, and full of possibility. It was great to see staff engaging with new tools that align with our shared values of creativity, connection, and student-centred learning.
