The purpose of my presentation, "The Future of Leadership: AI Tools and Tips for Teachers and School Leaders," is to equip educators and school leaders with practical knowledge and skills to harness AI tools effectively. These tools will streamline workflow, enhance productivity, and create a more inclusive and equitable educational environment.
Objectives (Participant Outcomes):
Understand AI in Education: Participants will grasp the concept of artificial intelligence in education and its potential impact on teaching and leadership.
Identify Key AI Tools: Participants will gain knowledge of specific AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Bard for administrative tasks, AI-driven content curation, MagicSchoolAI, EduAide, Gamma, Diffit, Curipod, and more.
Enhance Productivity: Attendees will learn how to integrate AI tools into their daily routines to save time and improve efficiency in tasks such as lesson planning, grading, data analysis, and administrative duties.
Promote Inclusivity: Participants will explore how AI can support diverse learners by accommodating various learning styles, languages, and abilities, ensuring equitable access to educational resources.
Foster Collaboration: Attendees will discover how AI tools facilitate collaboration among educators, promoting knowledge-sharing and best practices within their institutions.
Educational Challenge:
The challenge addressed is the growing demand for educators and school leaders to adapt to technology-driven changes in education. Many face time constraints, diverse student populations, and administrative burdens.
Technology Intervention:
Participants will gain knowledge of specific AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Bard for administrative tasks, AI-driven content curation, MagicSchoolAI, EduAide, Gamma, Diffit, Curipod, and more.
Models Employed:
I will showcase practical models of AI implementation in education, including the use of AI for personalized learning paths and AI-driven analytics to inform instructional decisions.
Lesson Plans/Activities:
Participants will engage in hands-on activities using AI tools, creating AI-assisted lesson plans, and exploring data-driven insights to tailor instruction. Instructional electronic resources and tools will include AI-powered content recommendation engines and virtual assistants for administrative tasks.
Evidence of Success:
Success will be measured through post-session surveys assessing participants' understanding of AI concepts, their ability to identify and use AI tools, and their confidence in incorporating AI into their educational practices.
