Interested in connecting with other educators around AI?
NCES, in collaboration with Bill Church of CRCS, is assessing interest in a professional learning community around the uses of AI in K-12 education. This would include both teacher use of AI as a resource and well as student use as a learning tool.
 
At this time, we are considering an online cohort that would meet 5 or 6 times over the course of the upcoming school year. If this is of potential interest you to, please add your name and contact info via this interest form. It does not commit you to participating but will help us determine interest. Your interest will also help us secure grant funding to make this a no cost offering.

Hayles will explore some literary strategies appropriate for thinking about these texts and some of the broader implications of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI for literature and reading.

CIE provides teachers with the training to plan and implement programs for their schools.
