AI With Intention:
Guiding Principles & Action Steps for Teachers & School Leaders
Who should attend?

Individuals interested in learning how to use AI tools in ways that support effective teaching and learning
Teams interested in establishing policies or adopting practices that empower teachers and support student learning in an era of everywhere, all the time, access to AI
How can we ensure effective teaching and the integrity of student learning in an era of everywhere, all-the-time, access to AI? This workshop focuses on a comprehensive set of choices that schools, leaders, and teachers can make to use AI tools in ways that support, rather than undermine, each student’s learning. Participants will learn:
Common misconceptions students have about AI, learning, and effort; and why it is important to address
them.
Practical strategies to deter cheating and support academic integrity in an era of everywhere AI.
How to craft policies and syllabi that intentionally align instructional practices, assessment design, and
classroom culture to emphasize learning, deter cheating, and support integrity – whether or not teachers
or students are using AI tools.
How to prompt AI tools in ways that ensure intentional teaching & learning.
Six skills and strategies to teach students to take ownership of their learning, including with AI tools.
