Are you tired and overwhelmed with your never-ending "Teacher To-do" list? AI can help with that! Let our team of "seasoned" educators show you how you can achieve a much better work-life balance while using AI to ensure you are bringing best practices and new easy ways to differentiate in your classroom! Rested teachers & engaged students! It's a win- win!

During our sessions we focus on teaching educators:

How they can analyze and vet the results they are getting no matter which tool they are using.
What are the most helpful nuggets for the classroom in their results?
How to evaluate what their students will be doing during an AI generated lesson plan and ensure engagement.
How to use AI to provide differentiation, ie. leveled texts, etc.
How to do AB curriculum mapping for exams.
What is Understanding by Design? Wiggins & McTighe and how AI can help achieve it.
When should you consider assessment during the planning process and how to ensure that a triangulation of assessment practices is embedded into each plan. We will mention authors like Katie White, Dylan Wiliam, and others with regard to assessment and encourage users to consult their work.
How to generate key questions to encourage critical thinking during lessons?
How to generate student created characters and /or subject related images to promote student ownership and motivation to write.
How to keep their work organized.
How to learn from others and share resources and build on them, both in the ARPDC Library and in the platform.
We also go into how they can use AI generated resources with other Ed Tech tools like Google Classroom, Hapara, and Formative to create and manage differentiated experiences for their students.
