Teaching in the AI Age: A Hands-On Workshop for Educators

Goal: Empower teachers to elevate their practice and foster stronger student relationships by harnessing the time-saving potential of GenAI. We believe that GenAI is not another thing teachers need to do; it helps them do what they already do—faster and better.

Participants learn prompt engineering and best practices for using GenAI as a thought partner. They then immediately apply this knowledge to design real classroom assets.

Accomplish Two Goals at Once: Use this workshop to gain hands-on experience while enacting your school’s strategic priorities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Personalize learning for students.
• Make assessments more efficient and effective.
• Create lessons that build critical thinking and constructive doubt.
• Implement project- or problem-based learning.
• Modify lessons to include SEL, UDL, and differentiation.
• Map new or existing curriculum.

Teaching in the AI Age: A Hands-On Workshop for Educators

A. Learning Reimagined: Empowering Students to Learn with AI 

Learn how GenAI can provide students with instant support, on-demand practice resources, and real-time feedback. Teachers explore setting clear expectations and implementing a framework so students know when, how, and why to use AI tools for learning. Best for Teachers of Students Aged 13+

B. Digital Literacy in the World of AI 

Students need specific digital literacy skills that start long before they engage with GenAI itself.

Teachers will explore embedding these skills across the curriculum, focusing on:

• Core Skills: Unpack critical thinking and constructive doubt required to assess AI-generated content.
• Technical Knowledge: Identify age- and stage-appropriate technical knowledge (e.g., what LLMs are and how they work).

Supercharge School Operations with GenAI

Goal: Improve efficiency and enhance school operations by leveraging GenAI to use existing data in new ways.

School administrative and support staff can save time and be more effective in areas like:

• Reducing workload for support and administrative staff.
• Improving efficiency for district and school-level administrators through automation.
• Managing reporting, identifying insights, and improving financial forecasts.

Participants gain hands-on experience using GenAI and prompt engineering to reimagine existing workflows and walk away with an immediately useful plan to improve efficiency.
