Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT are revolutionizing education, empowering teachers to work more efficiently and effectively while opening new learning pathways for students. From creating differentiated content to streamlining planning for instruction and intervention, AI offers endless opportunities to enhance the work of K12 teachers and collaborative teams. However, these tools also bring challenges and limitations that educators must navigate thoughtfully.

Schools that truly want to “create lifelong learners” must understand the influence that their actions in the classroom have on realizing this mission. Creating lifelong learners depends on more than good intentions; it depends on intentional actions designed to encourage students to realize that they have the capacity to move their own learning forward regardless of life circumstances or experiences. While this truth is likely something that most teachers already believe, integrating practices that build student self-efficacy into daily instruction remains elusive in most classrooms. Creating lifelong learners happens only when teachers move from knowing about the importance of student self-efficacy to doing something about it.

During this 1-Day Workshop, participants will gain strategies for how to build better parent engagement and collaboration with your school community to better support all of your students. Each participant will learn about a “Parentship” and how to purposely build a guiding coalition to move this work forward in their schools. Participants will also be given several easy-to-implement strategies for their own collaborative teams and school communities along with time and tools to think through that process.
