From disruption to direction: our future skill set
Now that the first feeding frenzy of AI is over, we need to think about how to manage disruptions and develop skill sets that will help us thrive in our profession. Therefore, this webinar aims to enable English trainers and teachers to assess future risks, identify emerging skill sets and develop strategies for long-term professional resilience.
In this webinar, participants will collaborate in small groups to explore a number of questions in a risk assessment of the disruptions we’re facing in our profession. In the second round, the groups will do a needs analysis and explore what skills can help us navigate the evolving demands of our roles over the next few years.
After the group work, we’ll reflect together on the direction we need to take and the tools that will support us in staying relevant, effective and empowered in a rapidly changing professional environment.
An online whiteboard will help to visualise ideas and provide additional information that the groups can use in their discussions.
