Educators AI Playbook #3: Overcoming AI Decision Paralysis

19 March 2026 >> AI is moving fast, and for schools, moving from individual "cool tools" to a safe, organisational deployment has never been more important. That's why we're excited to invite you to the third edition of The Educators AI Playbook, Thursday 19th March at 12.30pm UK. A live monthly webinar series designed specifically for school leaders, governors, IT teams, and educators.

Hosted by Mark Orchison and Dan Fitzpatrick (The AI Educator), each session gives you the clear, practical guidance you need to lead AI adoption safely and effectively across your school.

Why Join Episode 3?

In this session, we move beyond experimentation to focus on institutional strategy. We are thrilled to be joined by special guest Dr. Mike Lubelfeld, Superintendent and co-author of Leading for Tomorrow's Schools Today.

Mike isn't just theorizing about the future; he’s currently in the classroom teaching 6th graders how LLMs actually work. Together, we’ll tackle the "paralysis of decision-making" and explore:

• The CHANGE Framework: A 6-step roadmap to move from challenging the status quo to generating a shared vision for AI.
• Asset vs. Deficit Thinking: How to move past fears of "cheating" and "hallucinations" to embrace AI as the "great empowerer" for individualised learning.
• Leadership in the "Messy" Middle: Why modern school leaders need a "tolerance for ambiguity" to create the conditions for their staff to thrive.
• The Monthly AI Rundown: The latest updates and must-know trends from Dan Fitzpatrick.
• Live Q&A: Bring your questions. We’ll have dedicated time to discuss your school’s specific challenges, from safeguarding and infrastructure to data privacy.

The Takeaway

You’ll walk away with a practical framework to transition your school from "trying out tools" to a cohesive, strategic AI deployment that empowers every teacher and student.
