Reclaiming critical thinking in the age of AI

21 Jan 2026
Teaching & Learning Theatre
Assessment AI Pedagogy

In a world where students’ future success depends on how well they use AI, it should be championed, not feared. But as well as preparing students for an AI-fuelled future, educators and school leaders must also confront the learned helplessness that can come from over-reliance on these tools. In this two-person conversation, Alice Whitby (Oasis Multi Academy Trust) and Daniel Emmerson (Goodnotes) will explore how to reclaim critical thinking in the age of AI. Join us to discover what being an informed collaborator looks like, how to assess student understanding to reveal real learning, and how to nurture the social outcomes that matter most. You’ll leave with practical strategies, while engaging with the big questions and ideas shaping the future of education.
