Join former elementary school teacher and presenter Adam Garry as we explore how this year will see a major shift in the adoption of generative AI in schools. How can district leaders ensure that school leaders and teachers are ready for this change? In this webinar, we will discuss strategies and steps to prepare for and successfully implement your generative AI initiative.

Research consistently highlights the power of differentiated instruction, yet many educators struggle to implement personalized learning due to time constraints and workload demands. Generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT provide a game-changing solution, helping teachers design customized lessons efficiently and effectively.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly shaping the future of education, yet without critical engagement, it risks reinforcing systemic biases and widening technological inequities. Dr. Stacie Chana, author of Experimenting With AI: Activities, Discussions, and Prompts for the Classroom and Beyond, empowers educational leaders to approach AI with a lens of equity and cultural responsiveness, ensuring that all learners are protected and informed about the challenges and opportunities AI presents. Participants will explore practical strategies for identifying AI bias, implementing responsible AI-driven decision making, and developing policies that support ethical AI integration. This session will equip leaders with the knowledge needed to critically assess AI tools, advocate for fair and just technology use in schools, and guide students in becoming discerning users of AI.

Kristen Hawley Turner, PhD, is a professor and chair of education at the Caspersen School of Graduate Studies at Drew University, New Jersey. Her research focuses on the intersection between technology and literacy.

How can you maximize generative AI while ensuring security, ethical standards, and ROI? Join this timely session where successful district leaders share proven strategies for building AI literacy across staff, teachers, and parents—while creating sustainable systems that improve instruction and save time.

In this webinar, participants will dive deep into the 11 research-backed co-teaching configurations featured in Co-Teaching Evolved and learn several co-teaching strategies—plus, integrations that leverage ed-tech and AI tools.

Peter Nilsson is an educator, writer, and musician, whose work bridges education, creativity, and technology. A former head of school and award-winning teacher, he cofounded Athena Lab and edits The Educator’s Notebook, a newsletter on innovation in learning.

Maya Bialik is the founder of QuestionWell, a program that creates research-aligned AI tools for education. A former middle school science teacher, Maya’s focus is on how AI can improve working conditions for teachers.

When should students and teachers use AI? When should they avoid it? How can you continue advancing your mastery with AI? Drawing on their book Irreplaceable: How AI Changes Everything (and Nothing) in Teaching and Learning, Maya Bialik and Peter Nilsson will share insights from working with dozens of schools and more than a thousand teachers on how to effectively integrate AI into instruction and learning experiences.

As highlighted by researchers at the Brookings Institution, "AI holds significant promise for enhancing writing instruction and student outcomes across multiple dimensions of the writing process when used to amplify student learning rather than shortcut it." This webinar will explore strategies for helping students maintain agency as writers in an AI-driven world.
