SAI International School, Bhubaneswar, hosted an inspiring International Faculty Workshop on March 13 & 14, 2026, bringing together educators eager to explore the evolving landscape of teaching and learning. Held on the school campus, the workshop focused on the theme “Neuroscience & Learning and 5 AI Tools to Transform Your Teaching.” The two-day professional development session was designed to equip teachers with modern pedagogical strategies and practical tools that integrate neuroscience insights with artificial intelligence. The workshop aimed to help educators better understand how the brain learns and how technology can be used to enhance classroom engagement and effectiveness.

The event featured two distinguished resource persons: Ms Kabindya Thennakoon and Ms Ishani, who joined the workshop from Stanford University, California, United States. Drawing on their global academic experience, they delivered engaging sessions that combined research-backed insights with hands-on demonstrations of innovative AI tools for teaching. Throughout the workshop, participants explored how neuroscience principles can inform instructional design, improve student attention and retention, and foster deeper learning. The sessions also introduced educators to five practical AI-powered tools that can assist with lesson planning, personalised learning, feedback generation, and classroom creativity.

Teachers actively participated in discussions, collaborative activities, and interactive demonstrations, making the workshop both practical and inspiring. The exchange of ideas created an environment where educators could reflect on their current teaching practices while discovering new possibilities for integrating technology into education. The event reinforced SAI International School’s commitment to empowering educators for the future of learning.
