Event Information
- 10 minutes - Introduce objectives, participants, all organizations participating in the collaborative (Leading Educators, aiEDU, Collegiate Edu-Nation, and Arizona Institute for Education and the Economy), and Miami School District in Arizona. Participants will hear from all of the facilitators and they will have an opportunity for small group connection to design the worst AI assistant (this is an attempt: to model design thinking, give participants the opportunity to connect, and consider what is most important about harnessing AI).
- 20 minutes - Explore the AI Impact Cycle used during the Rural AI Schools of Excellence (RAISE) collaborative through an interactive experience of applying the cycle to a scenario. We will also explore sample AI strategies. Facilitators will share the impact cycle and then participants will have an opportunity to work together in small groups to apply it.
- 25 minutes - Hear lessons learned from a district superintendent who led a team through the AI impact cycle. Then, use tools from the RAISE collaborative to build your own instructional problem of practice and plan for creating an AI enabled strategy.
- 5 minutes - closing and next steps
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the AI impact cycle and how to implement it
- Explore strategies linked to coherent AI integration
- Use the AI impact cycle to customize an AI roadmap aligned to their school/system’s vision
