AI for Educators: From First Prompt to Full Automation

This dynamic online workshop guides educators through a practical, classroom‑ready journey of using Artificial Intelligence to improve teaching, boost student engagement, and streamline workload. Drawing on Adam Kruger’s STAR framework—Student Voice, Transition, Application, Review—the session explores how AI can help address common classroom challenges such as disengagement, differentiation, and data‑informed practice. As the slides note, “Differentiation using data in a range of areas is the key” and AI tools, especially chatbots, can support teachers in achieving high‑quality instructional practice.

Participants will learn how to start simple with prompts, build confidence using everyday AI tools, create engaging resources in minutes, and progress toward automation that saves hours each week. The workshop introduces a staged pathway—from using AI as a smart assistant to building custom classroom tools—showing educators how to transform worksheets, generate interactive lessons, analyse student voice, and streamline admin tasks. As the slides emphasise, “Start simple. Build skills. Save time. Create impact.”

Whether you’re new to AI or ready to explore advanced workflows, this hands‑on session equips you with practical strategies, real examples, and classroom‑ready tools that make teaching more efficient, engaging, and future‑focused.

Both working in a number of roles from Mathematics Learning Area leaders, Numeracy Leaders, Curriculum Development, Year Level Coordinator, Senior School Leader, to Acting Assistant Principal (Senior School/Curriculum). They have also been Directors of the Casey and Cardinia Mathematics Network.

Both believe that teaching and leading with warmth and enthusiasm, looking at the personal interests and strengths of their students is a key to achieving great success. Their interest, experience, and expertise in educating students at all levels is reflected in their broad teaching and leadership career. Both are celebrated presenters who work extensively with students, teachers and organisations in areas of leadership, data analysis, numeracy and literacy development, effective feedback strategies, restorative justice practices, accelerated learning, building connections outside the classroom, creative and critical thinking, learning styles, multiple intelligences and cooperative learning.

Adam and Scott have presented on numerous occasions for a range of organisations and school associations with the main focus of developing change in the classroom. Their passion for teaching has been the main driver for developing a range of programs at their college. The student growth that is achieved not only within these programs but in their classrooms is undeniable proof that their hard work and a love of this profession are the building blocks of great success. Adam and Scott have recently began developing a book Teach like a STAR which will be the driving force behind using their popular STAR methodology and approach towards building positive change in the classroom.

“Strategies to Thrive as a Year Level Co-ordinator by Sally Learey”

Sally was insightful and helped me to make clear connections to every day behaviours / emotions that I will need to recognise in my position. It really reiterated why I applied for this position in the first place as I think that often the purpose or the why is forgotten in an attempt to do everything for everyone.
