Culturally Responsive Teaching with AI

As classrooms become more diverse, culturally responsive teaching is essential to create inclusive, supportive learning environments. This one-day workshop focuses on integrating AI to support culturally responsive teaching practices, enabling educators to create personalised, culturally relevant learning experiences. Through hands-on sessions, explore how AI tools can help detect and reduce bias, personalise content, and celebrate diversity. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be equipped to leverage AI responsibly and effectively, fostering an inclusive classroom that respects and reflects each student's unique cultural identity. Join us to gain tools, resources, and strategies that make cultural inclusivity in the digital age a practical reality.
