Session description

Higher education leaders and faculty members will have the opportunity to inform and discuss considerations for changes in curriculum, professional learning, and systems, as well as a research agenda on key takeaways from a paper released at the conference. The paper addressed a framework for AI in teacher education.

Purpose & objective

The primary purpose of this forum is to empower higher education leaders and faculty members with the knowledge and skills required to influence and enact meaningful changes within their educational institutions. Specifically, this forum is designed to enable participants to inform considerations for changes in curriculum, professional learning approaches, and broader educational systems. We aim to foster a collaborative environment where participants can actively contribute to the development of a research agenda based on key insights derived from a paper released at the conference. We plan to take the data points from these conversations and further develop the AI frameworks
