Making Sense of AI
This workshop offers educators relevant and practical entry points to begin the process of making sense of AI. We’ll cover three guiding principles and seven strategies for understanding AI’s impact on education and harnessing its power to support deeper learning and teaching.
Practical AI for School Leaders
This session is designed for school leaders who want to better understand how to use generative AI to support their own work and goals. While they are often immersed in questions of philosophy, policy, and supporting students and colleagues, school leaders rarely have the opportunity to explore generative AI in practical terms: learning the skills and tools that will make them more effective users of this powerful technology.
Leading from the Middle: Managing Up, Down, and Across
This program is designed for leaders who want to navigate these complexities with greater confidence and clarity learning with and from a community of practitioners. Together, we’ll tackle the challenges that come with making tough decisions, leading effective meetings, supervising your peers, and giving feedback that builds rather than erodes trust.
Past Workshops
Deepening our AI Practice
This virtual ongoing program is designed for educators who are interested in strengthening their AI skills while exploring how to engage students in productive, ethical use of generative AI tools. By bringing together educators from different schools for learning, discussion, and practice, this program aims to not just deliver knowledge, but share it. Understanding how different schools and people are navigating the ever-changing boundaries of appropriate AI use at school will help us make decisions about the best way to engage our students.
Unlocking Your Facilitation Potential
This comprehensive 2-day workshop is designed specifically for educators who want to hone their facilitation skills. Whether you’re an aspiring leader, department head, group leader, or administrator, you recognize the pivotal role of facilitation in driving productive group dynamics.
Talking with Students about AI
This virtual intensive will introduce some guiding principles, talking points, and sample activities we can do with students to begin a conversation with them about how we might use AI for learning, not instead of it.
AI, Assessment, and the Question of Rigor
his session will explore the potential impact AI has on the design and facilitation of assessments. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy and research on productive struggle as our foundations, we’ll explore ways AI can augment student learning and can make assessments more impactful, not less. We’ll experiment with revising current assessments and imagine what new assessments AI might make possible.
Leveling Up Our AI Practice
This session is designed for educators who are already using AI in their practice and are looking to develop more advanced skills. Our main focus will be on practicing prompting and training that more deeply personalizes AI to our needs. Through strategic, detailed prompting and providing AI with a knowledge base of resources that we curate, we can teach AI to behave in more specific ways and provide more helpful and reliable responses.
