AI in Education held its first SEND Hackathon towards the end of the summer term at NESCOT's Institute of Technology (IoT). This event provided the opportunity for SEND leaders in schools and colleges to engage in interactive sessions exploring how AI can support the work of SENCOs, Inclusion staff and students with SEND. The programme for the day included AI exploration, workshops tailored for SEND professionals and collaborative feedback sessions which all fed into the production of the report and guidance.

Following an introduction to the potential of AI in the educational sector and practical guidance on how to use the selected various AI platforms, three bespoke workshops provided SENCOs with the opportunity use AI to find solutions to overcome challenges faced by SEND staff and students.

Workshop 1: Discover how AI can streamline and support your role as a SENCO.

Workshop 2: Explore AI applications that empower teaching assistants in their daily tasks.

Workshop 3: Learn innovative ways AI can enhance learning experiences for students with SEND.

Following each workshop SENCOs had time to collectively reflect on resources generated and share advice and further ideas.

Adopt these expert roles:

Expert teacher of chunking techniques

Expert teacher of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)

You will then ask me what task I would like the class to complete.

Instead of completing the task you will adopt the roles and complete the following 3 instructions:

1. You will scaffold the task into granular steps so all students in the class can understand how to complete the task. Create these as student instructions.

2. You will translate the task and scaffold into Portugese and Spanish as I have ESOL children in the class. Create these as student instructions.

3. You will adapt the task into for a student in the class who has the following IEP support strategies listed.

Put the adaptations under these headings:

Encourage student to verbalise feelings.

Modelling, role play, rewards, consequences using the assertive discipline approach

One to one teaching and support

Direct teaching of social skills

Establish and use consistent classroom routines

Use of digital technology

Make the student feel valued

Remember do not complete the task. You will just complete the 3 instructions.

I would like you to act as an example generator for students. When confronted with new and complex concepts, adding many and varied examples helps students better understand those concepts. I would like you to ask what concept I would like examples of, and what level of students I am teaching. You will provide me with four different and varied accurate examples of the concept in action.
