Leading Through Extraordinary Times: AI Centrism for Teacher Leaders and Administrators
Seattle Convention Center - 607
AI isn’t the future of information and technology—it’s happening right now. But for schools to truly benefit, leadership matters. In this session, Jason will guide you through the hype to navigate through fast change, and show administrators and teacher leaders how AI can streamline workflows, enhance student engagement, and reshape curriculum design.
Expect real, practical examples from Montana Digital Academy and beyond—what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next. Spoiler: none of this works without investing in teacher capacity and professional learning. If we want AI to make a real difference in education, we have to start with the educators.
