A look back at one of the conversations from the previous edition of 21CLHK. 💬

Beyond the Classroom Walls: Designing Learning Spaces for Collaboration and Creativity brought together Erick Chak, Owen Tam, Richard Dorkin, John Mortensen, and MJ Jimenez to explore how learning environments can better support connection, creativity, and collaboration.

Quick question: how much of your team's week goes to admin that has nothing to do with actual teaching or student support?

AI is no longer a buzzword, we should embrace AI as an agentic technology that can take routine work off educators' plates so there's more room for the human side of the job: relationships, learning, community.

Spoiler alert - We're co-hosting Faria Forward this October, and it will look at these...

Five tracks — admissions, curriculum, responsible AI, tech experimentation, and operations — built for school leaders and practitioners across Asia-Pacific who want practical takeaways, not theory.

📍 Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn, Bangkok
📅 20 October, 2026

Faria Forward: The Future of Agentic Schools is happening Bangkok this October!

As AI and agentic technology reshape how schools operate, the real question isn't whether to adopt it, but how to use it in a way that gives educators back time for what actually matters: their students, their teaching, their communities.

Across five tracks: admissions, curriculum, responsible AI, tech experimentation, and school operations, this is a chance for international school leaders and practitioners across Asia-Pacific to swap real, practical ideas rather than just theory.

Where in the learning experience does the student actually have to think?

Where do they exercise judgment? Make a meaningful decision? Bring their own perspective?

Lee Crockett offers a powerful test for learning design:

If we can’t find that point, we may not have designed a learning experience at all. We’ve designed a completion experience.

As AI makes completing tasks easier, the distinction matters more than ever.

“The danger isn't that AI replaces schools. The danger is that schools continue solving a problem the world no longer has.”

AI is changing what students can access, create, and complete.

The bigger question for schools is whether learning is changing with it.

In this episode of Education Vanguard, Lee Crockett challenges educators to reconsider what learning should make visible in a world where technology can increasingly handle the task itself.

What should remain human in the age of AI?

For Lee Crockett, the future of education isn’t about schools becoming more technological. It’s about becoming more intentional about the human capabilities that matter.

Critical thinking. Judgment. Agency. Purposeful choice.

In this episode of Education Vanguard, Lee explores why schools need to create learning experiences where these capabilities don’t just exist but become visible.
