Description:     Artificial Intelligence (AI) has entered the classroom, and educators are being asked to make quick decisions about a rapidly changing landscape. This full-day professional development experience provides administrators and teachers with the knowledge, strategies, and boundaries needed to integrate AI effectively, ethically, and responsibly. Participants will explore how AI can support workload efficiency, differentiation, and student access — while also addressing academic integrity, digital dependency, data privacy, and student wellbeing. With connections to the research in The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, this training balances innovation with intentionality, instructional integrity, and student mental health. Educators will walk away with best practice guidance, sample use policies, digital citizenship mini-lessons, sample classroom tasks, and a personalized implementation plan aligned to their role. This PD empowers schools to shape AI in education — rather than react to it.

Intended For: K-12 Teachers, Teaching Assistants, and Administrators
