AAIE LEADERSHIP LEARNING SERIES:

FUTURE FORESIGHT

Join “The Future of Family Engagement,” a Future Foresight Challenge-Based Cohort by AAIE


 

Artificial intelligence is moving into family life.

Families are confronting new questions about attachment, development, privacy, and trust.

Schools will increasingly be asked to take a position.

This three-session cohort equips school leaders to engage these questions with clarity.

Each 35-minute session draws on current research, emerging cases, and structured foresight tools tailored for your context.

Led by Tricia Friedman, Director of Learning and Strategy at Shifting Schools 

What is already changing? 

AI is crossing a quiet but consequential threshold:

  • From instrumental (helps accomplish tasks)
  • To relational (listens, remembers, comforts, accompanies)

This shift reshapes how families think about:

  • Trust and authority
  • Emotional development
  • Friendship and care
Strong leaders seek opportunities to meet the changing times with informed research.
 

A New Year community initiative: bring a peer into the fold.

To strengthen leadership alignment, every registration includes a second seat at no additional cost.

  • 1 ticket = 2 seats
  • Ideal for a Head and senior leader, or trusted leadership peers

This reflects a powerful belief: the most credible leaders don’t think alone.
