Three Half-Days This Summer Could Change How You Plan, Teach, Lead, and Work Next School Year

Nearby, a desk calendar outlines three morning AI learning sessions, while notebooks contain handwritten lesson planning ideas, AI teaching strategies, and productivity notes.

Summer is one of the few times educators get space to think. Not react. Not manage. Not survive the day. Actually think.

That makes it the perfect time to do something many of us have been meaning to explore all year: get serious about AI.

The AI for Educators Conference gives you that opportunity. Held online June 9–11, the conference features three half-days of learning from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. CT. Your afternoons stay free, and every session is recorded and available through July 31, 2026, giving you the flexibility to learn on your schedule while earning up to 48 CPE credits.

This year’s conference includes 48 sessions across eight focused strands, all centered on one goal: helping educators use AI in practical, meaningful ways.

The learning is organized by role because the questions teachers ask about AI are different from the challenges district leaders or IT teams face every day.

Sessions include Opening Session, Abracadabr-AI: From Tool to Transformation, and AI as Your Instructional Design Partner, each displayed in white cards with bold navy headings and orange session times.

Classroom teachers will explore ways to save time with lesson planning, feedback, differentiation, and communication. Administrators and instructional coaches will find guidance for campus leadership, staff support, and AI policy development. Technology leaders and IT staff will gain practical strategies for evaluating tools, protecting student data, and building responsible AI practices across their organizations. Sessions are already posted so you can start planning now which ones you want to attend live and catch the recordings of the others.

More than 600 educators from across the United States and around the world attend each year, and the conversations and connections you build carry forward long after the conference ends.

Registration is $159 for TCEA members and $188 for non-members. Your registration includes live sessions, on-demand recordings through July 31, CPE and GT credits, and presenter resources through the TCEA app.

You may have spent this school year adapting on the fly. This summer, spend three mornings getting ahead.

The learning is live and collaborative, and the connections you build carry forward long after the conference ends.

Register at tcea.org/events/ai. You’ll leave with tons of ideas, excitement on the newest features of various tools that you can use on Day 1, and ways to be more productive – regardless of whether you are in the classroom or supporting teachers.
