The best measure of our work is what happens after it. Here's what leaders say about working with Dan.
Getting Dan into your school to speak for one hour will transform your teachers’ way of thinking. It will be the best PD you do all year.
Dan’s keynote woke us up to the urgency of embracing AI in education and challenged us to grab the opportunity with both hands. He certainly has left a lasting impression on our entire education service.
Dan’s balanced view of the use of AI takes tools that could be intimidating and makes them much more approachable and useful for practicing educators.
This was the first PD that my staff walked away from excited about! We had email and text chains that began immediately as staff discovered new resources. He was excellent!
Dan’s expertise is second to none, and his enthusiasm has empowered our teachers to want to be at the forefront of AI driven learning.
Dan Fitzpatrick offers a bold and transformative vision for the future of learning in the AI era.
Dan made AI, a topic I was a bit fearful of, fun and accessible. He gave us lots of practical thoughts and ideas, which I am excited to try out now.
Your contribution was perfect and sparked a lot of really interesting discussion, which was exactly what we were hoping for.
