HIP+AI stands for the Human Interdependence Paradigm + Artificial Intelligence. It's the idea that as AI becomes more capable, the purpose of education must shift toward what humans do best and what we can only do together.

HIP is a way of rethinking learning that moves beyond meritocracy and one-size-fits-all schooling. Instead of ranking students against a single standard, HIP starts from the premise that human value is centered in our uniqueness and varied strengths and the value created by contributing in different ways. In other words, HIP reframes education around individual strengths and interests, value creation for others, and the interdependence a connected world offers us.

With the addition of AI, HIP now can take on a new lens, further challenging the traditional paradigm and shifting toward a HIP learner ecosystem. AI can now do many of the routine academic tasks schools have long treated as evidence of learning, such as writing essays, summarizing texts, solving predictable problems, or producing polished presentations. AI can generate outputs, but importantly, it is not human. So HIP+AI seeks to expand possibility, extend thinking, guide interpretation and contributions, and ultimately make education more meaningful, more aligned to the ever-changing world we live in, and more human.

HIP focuses on enabling students to personalize their learning so as to discover and develop their interests and passions as well as personal strength so that each person can become uniquely great in their own way. It encourages teaching from finding and solving significant problems for others and with others.

This community is for teachers who wants to make changes. They understand they may not be able to change the whole system, but they can change what happens in their own learning environments. If you're curious, brave, and ready to try meaningful shifts in your classroom, you're exactly who this is for. All subjects, grade levels, and school systems are welcome.

Not at all. This is a community about learning in an age of AI, about reframing the co-learning among teachers and students with AI. But in the process, you and your students will develop better understandings of AI and meaningful uses of AI for learning in the new paradigm of education.

We've designed the experience to be ambitious but realistic for working educators. Participants can expect:

• Monthly online gatherings (1-2 hours each, dependent on overall cohort size)
• Two waves of classroom experimentation
• Possible optional in-person gatherings in Australia, China, and the US at your own cost
• Opportunities to engage in case studies, research, and collaborative writing, with all contributing to overall documentation of your own learning journeys

This is a working community, not a passive webinar series. We believe doing is learning. Due to space limitations, missing more than 3 regular sessions may forfeit your spot in the cohort.

The initiative runs April 2026-April 2027. Key moments include:

• April: Registration for online information session(s); complete application if interested after the information session.
• May: First online Webinar for accepted core team members. Others can view the sessions as visitors. Due to time differences, we will decide and announce the specific time based on time zones of participants. We may rotate the time if participants are spread across too many time zones.
• June-July: Redesign learning
• August-September: Finalize first learning design
• October-December: Experiment redesigned learning in class
• Jan-Feb: Redesign learning
• March-April: Experiment redesigned learning in class
• May: Reflection

By the end of the year, you'll have:

• A better understanding of educational transformation in the age of AI
• One or more transformative designs of learning you've implemented
• A global network of colleagues
• A published case in our shared practice library

There is no cost to participate if accepted into the program, but genuine commitment is expected. If you're not able to participate actively or try new approaches in your classroom, this may not be the right moment to join.

Space, however, is limited. Teachers from the same school may apply, but 1-2 spots will be allocated to any single learning institute to ensure a diversity of schools in different countries/regions can participate. If a school would like additional members, please contact us.

*In-person gathering opportunities are not covered by the program sponsorship. Individuals are responsible for their own travel and accommodation.

Official applications will open soon. In the meantime, fill out the interest form linked above to stay up to date and let us know about you!

All monthly sessions are recorded, and the community platform supports asynchronous participation. You can still fully participate even if you occasionally miss a live meeting; however, as commitment is essential, multiple absences (more than 3) may result in forfeit of your place in the cohort. Please communicate with the team if you have extenuating circumstances.

We absolutely want to support teams and schools in their journeys. However, for the first cohort, it is anticipated that only 1-2 participants from any given school will receive a space, so each participant should submit their own interest form.

The primary languages of the program will be English. Given the capabilities of AI in translation, you can still participate even if you don't speak English.

We'd love to talk to you about the project! Please reach out to us at yee@eduyee.com
