Inclusion Key Themes

School Leaders and Teachers

• Support understanding of the key themes of inclusion and equity arising in conversations about AI in Education.

• Investigate how these themes connect to the needs of diverse learners 

• Identify how your school will respond to areas of concern to ensure all students can access learning opportunities equitably.

• Embed your responses in digital learning policies and school procedures with a focus on inclusion, accessibility, and cultural safety.

• Engage your school community in these conversations to maintain transparency, build trust, and educate all stakeholders in inclusive practice.

Academics

• Identify gaps in the literature around AI and inclusion to direct future research.

• Build on existing research to show how AI can support inclusive pedagogies and equitable learning design.

• Partner with schools to develop evidence-based approaches that help communities align AI use with inclusive teaching and learning practices.

Industry Professionals and Developers

• Understand the key inclusion themes educators need to address when adopting AI in schools.

• Develop tools that help teachers remove barriers to participation, personalise learning, and support wellbeing.

• Prioritise free or low-cost tools that give teachers, parents, and students in low-resourced contexts equitable access to AI benefits.

• Ensure development practices include consultation with diverse voices (students with disabilities, culturally and linguistically diverse families, First Nations communities).
