Outline

1. Welcome and Session Overview (3 minutes)

Content: Introduce yourself and Troup County School System; explain session goals and what participants will take away.

Engagement: Quick icebreaker: Ask participants to share in the chat or on sticky notes one AI tool they’ve already experimented with.

Process: Use audience poll or chat response to establish baseline familiarity with AI.

2. Real Classroom Examples (7 minutes)

Content: Showcase 2–3 specific examples of how teachers in Troup County use AI to enhance lessons across grade levels and subjects (e.g., personalized reading activities, math problem scaffolding, formative assessment generation).

Engagement: Ask participants to vote via poll or raise hands on which example resonates most with their own classroom or school.

Process: Include visuals/screenshots of AI in action to make it concrete.

3. Interactive AI Exploration (10 minutes)

Content: Demonstrate a simple AI tool or prompt workflow that attendees can try on their devices. Highlight how it connects to curriculum standards and learning goals.

Engagement: Attendees practice generating a lesson idea, writing prompt, or assessment question using AI. Encourage them to share their outputs with a neighbor or in the chat.

Process: Peer-to-peer sharing, live demonstration, and real-time Q&A to troubleshoot ideas.

4. Responsible and Effective Implementation (5 minutes)

Content: Discuss strategies for integrating AI ethically and effectively, including guiding student use, managing accuracy, and aligning with instructional goals.

Engagement: Ask participants to reflect briefly and write down one action step for their own classroom or team.

Process: Share a few examples from participants (volunteers) to reinforce peer learning.

5. Wrap-Up and Takeaways (5 minutes)

Content: Summarize key strategies, highlight resources, and reinforce ISTE standards alignment. Provide a downloadable “starter toolkit” or AI prompt bank.

Engagement: Q&A session; participants can submit questions via chat or discuss with a partner.

Process: Quick reflective poll: “Which AI strategy will you try first?” to leave participants with actionable next steps.
