This is a one‑year global community for teachers who want to redesign learning for an age when AI is changing much of the routine academic work schools have traditionally valued.

It's not about using AI to speed up old tasks. This community is about creating learning that remains meaningful, human, and worth doing in age of rapid change and possibility. Together, the community is focusing on one big question: How should the role of teachers evolve in the age of AI? Community members will experiment in their own classrooms and contexts for authentic impact on and with learners, compare insights across countries, and contribute to a shared global case library.

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.

This community is for teachers who 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, reflective, and ready to try small but 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. We focus on judgment, interpretation, student agency, and the parts of learning that remain deeply human, and how AI can support and enhance that.

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
• Optional *in‑person gatherings in Australia (July/Aug), China (Oct/Nov), and the US (Jan/Feb)
• Opportunity 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–March, with flexible entry points throughout the year. Key moments include:

• April: Information and warm‑up sessions, Interest and Application
• Early May: Global kickoff (Shanghai + remote); begin monthly webinars
• July/August: Australia regional gathering
• October/November: China regional gathering
• February/March: US regional gathering and Global Online Showcase

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

• A clear stance on meaningful AI use in learning
• One or more transformative designs you've actually implemented
• New ways to assess thinking and judgment in an AI‑rich world
• 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 as many can participate across learning contexts as possible. If a school would like additional members, there are other program and PD options we can arrange based on your distinct needs.

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

It helps us understand your context and how you hope to grow this year.

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 and Chinese, but regional partners may offer additional language support depending on location.
