Wednesday, April 2, 2025
9:15 AM – 10:15 AM PT
Location: 402 / Chiliwack
Leadership and Vision

Target Audience: Superintendents & Senior Cabinet leaders (CBO/CFO/CAO/CTO/CIO); Experienced Ed Tech Leaders/CTO/CIO; Instructional/Educational Technology Leaders

As districts across the globe grapple with the tectonic shifts caused by generative AI, there is a tendency to rush to the tool as an answer to nearly all challenges of content creation, evaluation and synthesis. This approach, while exciting, diminishes the human intelligence that is essential to effective, ethical and equitable deployment of this technology. This session provides guidance for a responsible process by which your educational community can engage in the thoughtful and impactful use of artificial intelligence for all students, ethically. Remembering the human element, practice empathy and asking the right questions are the path forward.

Key Take Aways:

  • Participants will leave with several practical examples of how to deploy generative AI in their district, whether it be small (WSD), medium (ABCUSD) or large (SAUSD), as well as have a framework created by the largest regional education agency in the country (LACOE).
  • Understand the broad implications of generative AI when placed within the context of K-12 education. Walk away with flexible strategies on how to incorporate a district's entire educational community as we transform education moving forward.
  • Discover the role of human intelligence in an effective artificial intelligence deployment strategy. Develop proven tactics for growing empathy, effective questioning techniques and other human qualities in your student population to prepare them for a future of ubiquitous AI.
