Participants will learn about how to actively build working environments and relationships that allow them to show up authentically, and build a culture of accountability, transparency, and curiosity.

Overview: Building on the Neuroinclusion plenary session, this session will continue to educate teaching staff about neurodivergent needs spectrums and how to recognise and support them within learning environments. They will be supported to identify their own needs and boundaries as educators, and embed universal design principles in their education delivery, to increase accessibility for students.

AI Developments in 2026
Presenter: Dilhan and Guy Moxley 
Audience: All Staff 
Educator Passport Points: 4 Professional Currency Points
Overview: To effectively prepare for the future, BKI’s approach to AI must shift from focusing solely on current practices to anticipating what lies ahead and how the organisation can respond responsibly. Instead of dwelling on “how AI works today”, we shall discuss a shift to move to “what’s coming next and how BKI prepares responsibly”. This future-focused lens is especially relevant for Teachers, Non-Teachers, VETASSESS, and eWorks covering the following areas;

• The Next Phase of AI Development: From Tools to Agents 

• Skills of the Future: What Must People Learn Now? 

• Future of Teaching and Learning in an AI Rich-World 

• Trust, Fairness and High-Stakes Decisions 

• Oganisational Readiness: What Must BKI Get Right Now?
