Session description

AI offers opportunities to reassess how teachers design curriculum and shift toward personalized, real-world, experiential, culturally aware, and accessible lessons and assessments incorporating AI with purpose. Learn about the Authentic Assessment With AI Protocol to use a template of thoughtful lesson design and assessment that works with any discipline. This session is also being offered Sunday, June 23, 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm.

Purpose & objective

Goals: Presenters will review the Berne/McGettigan AI-Infused Authentic Assessment Protocol, a set of guidelines applicable to any discipline and customizable for different students to redesign curriculum and assessments using AI. Attendees will learn about and then use the Protocol to design their own unit plan and assessments using AI.

Overview: Presenters will use a slide deck to present the information and will employ visible thinking routines using digital Padlet and in-person Post-it Notes. After reviewing the content and doing the brief visible thinking routine, the presenters will demonstrate the Protocol with exemplars for different disciplines. Following the exemplars, the format will shift to a workshop format, where attendees will play with the protocol to design a basic unit plan and corresponding assessments using AI. Attendees will leave the presentation with a personalized unit plan design with assessments and a better understanding of how to infuse AI into authentic assessment.
