We're excited to showcase the Bayan School's journey into Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) with our exclusive training series conducted over the last three weeks during our Thursday PD Sessions.

Over 180 faculty and staff members embarked on a hands-on exploration of AI, diving deep into its applications and possibilities.

Led by our excellent Technology department, these sessions were thoughtfully developed in both Arabic and English to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for our fantastic faculty and staff.

Engagement was at an all-time high as participants actively interacted with various AI tools using Yes/No cards for feedback.

From integrating AI into lesson planning to revolutionizing report card comments, we covered it all! We also provided tailored support to our dedicated Arabic educators, recognizing their unique requirements and empowering them with knowledge and skills.

But that's not all! Our visionary faculty members were treated to a customized session designed to assist with their administrative needs because we believe in embracing AI's potential beyond the classroom.

This significant milestone marks our leap towards a future-ready education system here at Bahrain Bayan School, where we're paving the way for the US of AI in education.

Training our teachers on the SAMR model for technology integration offers a structured approach to enhancing student learning through meaningful tech use. This model—Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition—encourages teachers to design activities that engage students, foster critical thinking, and build essential digital skills. By embedding SAMR into lesson plans, teachers can ensure that technology use is intentional and aligned with educational goals, creating more dynamic and impactful classroom experiences.
