About This Event

Join us for an introduction to the AI Integration Continuum, a new human-centered framework designed to help educator preparation programs and education systems thoughtfully integrate AI into policy, practice, and leadership. Developed through collaboration with educator preparation leaders and informed by communities of practice, statewide discussions, and emerging research, the framework provides a developmental pathway for building AI capacity over time.

During this interactive webinar, participants will:

  • Explore the rationale behind the AI Integration Continuum
  • Gain an overview of the framework's five domains:
    - Foundations for AI Usage
    - Equitable AI Systems
    - Partnerships & Governance
    - Coursework & Instructional Practice
    - Data & Continuous Improvement
  • Examine how the framework supports human-centered decision-making and responsible AI integration
  • Learn about opportunities for continued engagement through upcoming deep-dive learning sessions

Whether you are an educator preparation leader, faculty member, mentor, district partner, school leader, policymaker, or simply interested in the future of AI in education, this session will provide a practical starting point for understanding how education systems can thoughtfully prepare for an AI-enabled future.

Who should attend: Educator preparation faculty and leaders, clinical practice coordinators, mentor teachers, district and county office partners, induction leaders, policymakers, and others interested in responsible AI integration in education.

Format: 60-minute webinar including presentation, reflection opportunities, and audience Q&A.
