Description
Intermediate Computer Proficiency required. Read more »
Intermediate computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who already have good understanding of technology. Participants will build upon their skills by learning how to use a variety of resources, including learning apps, Microsoft 365 apps, and photo and video editing platforms.
Imagine a classroom in 2030. Students interact with holographic simulations, receive real-time feedback from AI tutors, and collaborate on projects that solve real-world problems using AI-driven data analysis.
Teachers, rather than following traditional methods, are facilitators, guiding students as they explore AI-enhanced learning experiences. School administrators use AI to optimize school operations, personalize learning pathways, and predict future educational trends.
This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie; it’s the approaching future of education.
As AI increasingly influences our daily lives, it’s essential for educational leaders to integrate it effectively into our schools.
This course is designed for forward-thinking educators, including school administrators and principals, who understand AI’s transformative impact on educational leadership and decision-making. Engaging in this course will equip them to navigate and lead confidently in an AI-enhanced educational setting.
Teachers and school principals might be asking:
- How does my school’s vision and mission align with the AI age?
- How can school administrators leverage AI to optimize operations?
- How is AI redefining leadership in educational settings?
- What expertise and insights empower educators in navigating an AI-integrated educational environment?
AI can be included in every part of the school, and this course will teach participants how to do it. We aim to guide teachers and school principals on the journey of understanding AI’s role in educational leadership. We’ll use activities they can participate in, and group talks to learn together.
During the course, participants will experience AI tools that help with syllabus creation, professional development, team-building activities, curriculum design, creating appropriate rubrics, designing individualized education plans, and many more.
We’ll also have a “Reflection Roundtable” every day with a specific question. It’s a time to chat about what we’ve learned, exchange thoughts, and maybe even start team projects between schools.
By the end of this course, participants should have a roadmap for creating a vision for AI in their schools and will have a clear understanding of how AI fits into education.
Teachers and school administrators will walk away with new tools and strategies, underscoring the clear central role of AI in modern education, to make their school and classroom even better and prepare their students for a future with AI.
