About the event
In our conversations with 20+ school leaders from Japan, these two themes came up repeatedly as top priorities:
- The opportunity AI presents to save time for admin tasks
- Language as a barrier to learning
At the Japan Meet, we’ll address both these challenges head-on.
Please note: Both sessions will be available in English and Japanese.
AI strategies for school leaders in Japan
04:00 – 05:00 PM JST | 60 minutes
With an overflow of information about AI in education, it’s difficult to pinpoint what genuinely suits your school’s setting in Japan. Curious about how to shape policies and subject overviews that reflect both local context and international best practices?
Join Daniel Reynolds, Head of School at Tokyo International School, to explore how you can seamlessly integrate AI into your workflows. Plus, he’ll share how some Japanese schools are developing their AI policies, along with a few best practices.
Learn how AI tools can help:
- Ease your daily load by automating routine tasks
- Draft and align policies with your school’s values
- Build coherent subject overviews
Is every teacher at your school a language teacher?
05:00 – 06:00 PM JST | 60 minutes
Helping students from diverse linguistic backgrounds often requires balancing subject content with language instruction.
And not everyone’s equipped for it. Experienced school leader Gay-Ann Bagotchay will share how Katoh Gakuen – a bilingual school – equips all their teachers to effectively integrate language support into the subjects they teach, ensuring they reach every student in the classroom.
In this session, you’ll:
- Explore a framework for weaving language support into every subject
- Discover a toolkit of lesson ideas that build both knowledge and language skills
- Discuss strategies for creating a culture where all educators teach both content and language
