AI for Equity: Purposeful AI Integration in Lesson Planning
Generative AI has the potential to do more than save time. It can help us rethink and improve our teaching practices to create more equitable, student-centered learning environments. In this interactive 2-hour virtual workshop, participants will:
- Learn the Basics of Generative AI: Understand what it is, how it works, and how it can be leveraged in teacher planning.
- Explore Using a Design Thinking Prompt Framework: Learn to optimize your prompts to get the most out of your chatbot conversations.
- Create: Experiment with AI tools to generate resources like differentiated texts, sentence frames, or classroom activities that foster community, collaboration, or communication skills.
Rooted in the philosophy of using AI as a tool for better practices and amplifying our unique human skills like critical thinking, creativity, and empathy, this session will inspire educators to integrate AI into planning and decision-making in thoughtful, ethical ways that are beneficial for both teachers and students. AI isn’t an easy button! Especially when it comes to equity and antiracism. We must do the internal work for this, but this session will explore how AI can amplify the work we’ve done and create more humanizing classroom experiences for students.
Join us to reimagine what’s possible when we use AI not just for efficiency, but for equity and excellence. This workshop is for teachers, pre-service teachers, administrators, coaches, and anybody interested in artificial intelligence and equity in education. See you there!
