We will share our research findings on a GenAI digital teaching simulation designed to support elementary teachers’ mathematics teaching practices. Attendees will learn about the nature of the responses generated by GenAI students during interactions and the authentic experience this practice space offers, and its usability in supporting teachers’ practice.

Participants will: (1) prepare for and engage in a generative AI (GenAI) teaching simulation to practice the teaching skill of eliciting and attending to student thinking; (2) analyze teachers facilitating a discussion with three GenAI students; and (3) discuss designing and using GenAI teaching simulations in teacher professional learning settings.
