AI Center for Effective Teaching and Learning

We offer a variety of keynotes & workshops to support effective use of Artificial Intelligence tools, Aligned & Intentional teaching, and student Agency & Integrity. All of our keynotes & workshops are based on recent research, emphasize active learning and engagement among participants, and draw on practical strategies that are proven in schools and classrooms.

Topics for specific keynotes & workshops include:

• Recent research & effective uses of AI tools that support, rather than undermine, effective teaching and learning. 
  
• Guiding principles and action steps for leadership teams or teacher teams to use AI tools in ways that intentionally support effective teaching & learning.
• Strategies for teachers to prompt AI tools in ways that are intentionally aligned to priorities for teaching and learning.
• Strategies for instructional leaders, department chairs, & instructional coaches to support teachers’ uses of AI tools that create efficiencies without jeopardizing teacher expertise.
• Strategies for educators to teach students boundaries, guidelines, and effective uses of AI tools that support student agency, safety, integrity, and deeper learning. 
• Strategies for teachers to support student agency and build active engagement in, and ownership of, their learning.
• Strategies for teachers to minimize cheating and maximize students’ academic integrity, whether or not they are using AI tools.  

We offer a variety of research services to help you better understand your teachers’ and students’ perceptions, and uses, of AI tools and help teachers ensure that when students interact with AI tools, they do so with agency and integrity .  

• Gain a better understanding of teachers’ perceptions and uses of Artificial Intelligence and their concerns and questions related to Academic Integrity by administering the AI2TPS survey tool at your school or in your district. Click below for more information.
• Gain a better understanding of students’ perceptions and uses of Artificial Intelligence tools and their perceptions of teachers’ practices that support appropriate and effective uses of AI tools, minimize cheating, and maximize academic integrity using our student focus group protocol. 
• Summary & synthesis of findings from local data and recommendations for moving forward to support effective uses of AI tools.
  
  

We offer a variety of services to help you establish boundaries, guidelines, and effective use cases as the basis for policies that support teachers and students to use AI tools in ways that are aligned to your school’s mission, maximize safety & privacy, and support effective teaching & learning.  

Services include:

• Review of existing documents or policies that are used to provide guidelines for appropriate uses, and boundaries to deter inappropriate uses of AI tools. 
• Workshops and presentations for committees or leadership teams to develop a shared understanding of recent research and exemplary use cases of AI tools that support, rather than undermine, student safety and effective teaching and learning.
• Guidance and support to help committees or leaders respond to AI tools in ways that are informed by your school or districts’ core mission.
• Guidance and support to establish boundaries, guidelines, and effective use cases that empower teachers to use AI tools effectively.
• Guidance and support to establish and implement department or school-wide expectations for whether, when, and how, it is appropriate for students to use AI when assigning schoolwork along a shared scale that ranges from “No AI” to “AI-Driven”.
• Guidance and support to establish boundaries, guidelines, and effective use cases that empower students to use AI tools with integrity and agency, ensure transparency in how tools or resources were used, and hold students accountable to explain the meaning of any elements of their schoolwork, projects, or assessments.
