Can AI tools be useful within science, engineering, and math classrooms, where objective scientific facts govern and logical reasoning dominates? Have AI tools been improved to hallucinate less frequently, less intensely, or less confidently? This intensive will provide participants with the opportunity to experiment with AI models using curated prompts, revealing both the power and potential issues with these tools. Together, we will examine best practices in a world where AI will soon be used to make major scientific discoveries.

In this virtual series for lower school educators we will explore the importance of human-centered approaches, share insights into the value of AI literacy, engage with AI tools, and examine supportive leadership frameworks and processes. This dynamic program will meet educators where they are in their AI journeys and build a learning community of educators grappling with the complexity of this work

This isn’t your typical book club. It’s a collaborative, purpose-driven experience designed to spark meaningful reflection, deepen your understanding of SLA principles, and support real changes in your classroom practice.

In this intensive workshop, we will synthesize two of the best methods for meeting the needs of your neurodiverse students: Universal Design for Learning and generative artificial intelligence. We will gain an understanding of UDL principles, while collaboratively workshopping ways to remove barriers to learning in your classroom in innovative ways. We will address some of the most common challenges with supporting student learning, and participants will leave well-equipped to understand how to efficiently and effectively reach every student.

This three-day, in-person institute invites educators and school leaders to develop the mindsets, skills, and practical applications needed most in this rapidly changing landscape keeping human relationships at the center. With Eric Hudson as our core facilitator, this collaboration between CATDC and Midland School combines hands-on learning with thoughtful dialogue, ensuring participants leave with technical know-how and a clear vision for how AI can enhance the human elements at the heart of education.
