Participants see how shared agents can promote consistency, collaboration, and scalability across faculties, programs, and departments.
This session supports Principals and Vice-Principals in using Microsoft Copilot to strengthen school-level leadership while saving time and increasing clarity across competing priorities. Participants learn how to adjust custom settings so Copilot works for the realities of the role tailored to their leadership style, responsibilities, communication needs, and school improvement focus areas. We highlight how to use Copilot Chat for efficiency and impact, including drafting and refining communications, summarizing key information, preparing for difficult conversations, streamlining meeting preparation and follow-up, and turning notes into clear next steps. Throughout, we connect workflows to tighter alignment with School Improvement Goals, strengthening coherence, and ensuring staff understand and act on school and district priorities. Participants learn how to leverage Create and Teach to generate custom content (slides, templates, sheets, staff-facing resources, and learning supports), and we model how to analyze school data to inform instruction, identify patterns, and support responsive planning. The session also introduces agents and how they can be used to make learning sustainable by supporting repeatable leadership workflows (e.g., weekly school updates, consistent meeting agendas, improvement-plan monitoring, and recurring communication routines) that can be refined over time and shared appropriately.
This session is designed for district and system educational staff who support implementation, instruction, and professional learning across schools. Participants learn how to adjust custom settings and build reusable prompting routines so Copilot becomes viable for the realities of their role aligned to portfolios, focus areas, and the educators, leaders, and teams they support. We also walk through high-impact Microsoft 365 workflows for system roles, showing how Copilot can streamline communication, planning, facilitation, and resource development supporting consistency, reducing duplication, and strengthening alignment across system-wide implementation and school-wide adoption. Participants uncover Create and Teach to open new possibilities for producing custom content such as images, infographics, video supports, slide decks, templates, and learning resources all of which can be aligned to board priorities, implementation plans, and school improvement goals. A dedicated segment focuses on Teach as a learning accelerator to foster implementation with the teams and districts you support helping translate priorities into coherent lessons, assessment supports, professional learning artifacts, and inclusive practices that can scale. Participants are also introduced to agents and how agent creation can make learning sustainable by supporting repeatable implementation workflows (e.g., coaching cycles, school support plans, rollout communications, PL planning, and resource refresh routines) that can be refined over time and shared appropriately.
The rapid rise of Technology and Artificial Intelligence is a shift in how our students learn, think, and interact with the world. This session for Principals and Vice-Principals will dig into technologies’ impact on wellness and focus on providing awareness, strategies and entry points to discussing these topics with your staff and students. We’ll dig into tangible next steps and discussion prompts to assist you in continuing your journey of creating an environment of balanced, trusted, safe and purposeful tech use.
Designed for Principals and Vice-Principals, this session explores how AI tools (e.g. CoPilot, Gemini) can save time, improve communication, and support effective school leadership. Participants in this hands-on workshop will dig into practical strategies for managing information, creating leadership resources, analyzing school data, and aligning work with School Improvement Goals.
