Back in April of 1993, educators were buzzing about the newest thing in technology: the World Wide Web. Parents and community members were worried about it exposing students to things they didn’t normally have access to, administrators were worried about it distracting students, and teachers were confused about how or even if to integrate it into their classes.
Fast forward to today and the same thing is happening with artificial intelligence. Some experts are claiming that it can revitalize the school system and learning and others are predicting it will be the end of the world. So, what’s an educator to do?
The AI in Education Journey
TCEA was one of the few organizations that was prepared and ready 32 years ago to help teachers and administrators implement the use of the web into learning, and we are just as prepared today to help with AI. For that reason, our professional development staff members have created the AI in Education Journey for school districts and campuses to use. It’s called a journey because the effective implementation of any new tool is not a one-stop process; it’s a slow and carefully planned expedition that moves through different stages based on the needs of the individual.
TCEA’s AI in Education Journey is an opportunity to work hand-in-hand with our team of educational experts as you harness the power of AI in your school or district. From a personalized pre-assessment to scalable growth strategies, we have the tools and know-how to support you every step of the way.
Stages in the AI Journey
There are five different stages in successfully implementing AI:
- Stage 1: Discover AI’s True Potential for Teaching, Learning, and Leading
- Stage 2: Plan for AI Integration
- Stage 3: Master AI Basics with Hands-On Professional Learning
- Stage 4: Activate AI in Education
- Stage 5: Sustain and Scale AI
The pre-assessment will tell you exactly what stage your organization is at with the implementation of AI. Some schools may need to start at Stage 1 while others may be ready for a later stage. The Journey is designed to fit each group’s specific needs and meet them where they are at.
Numerous resources are included for each stage of the journey, from custom GPTs to personalized online and face-to-face learning, sample policies, tool rubrics, ideas for student AI use including a K-12 curriculum framework, and so much more. TCEA has done the hard work of gathering all of the necessary materials, concepts, discussion points, and samples to help you move forward.
And, the AI Journey is priced to meet the budgetary limits that schools are currently under, ensuring that every district and campus can take advantage of the program without breaking the bank.
