Session 1

Before the Habits Build Themselves

Wednesday, September 23, 2026
14:00–14:45 CEST | Online

AI culture is already forming in schools.

Students and educators are developing habits, assumptions, and expectations around AI long before institutions have fully decided what healthy use should look like.

This professional learning conversation explores what happens in that gap.

Rather than beginning with tools or policy, the session looks at the culture forming around repeated AI use: what schools formally communicate, what students and adults encounter in everyday life, and how those experiences gradually become habits, norms, and expectations.

Participants will examine how different institutional postures toward AI create different conditions for students and educators, and consider where schools still have an opportunity to shape those patterns intentionally.

We’ll explore

  • how school posture influences the culture forming around AI
  • the difference between formal expectations and ambient AI use
  • how repeated interactions become habits, norms, and culture
  • what healthy AI use can look like without replacing human judgment
  • four practical ways schools can reinforce healthier AI practice through shared language, modeling, reflection, and alignment

Who this is for

International-school educators and leaders thinking seriously about how AI is shaping learning, judgment, and school culture.

The conversation is relevant whether your school is currently restricting AI, experimenting classroom by classroom, developing shared expectations, or already moving toward broader institutional integration.

About the session

This is a 45-minute professional learning conversation, not a technology demonstration or tool-training session.

The focus is on the human and institutional questions beneath AI adoption—and on what schools can begin shaping now before emerging habits become harder to redesign.

An AI culture will form. The choice is whether the school helps intentionally shape it.
