This hands-on session explores the creative frontier of generative AI and its implications for the future of work. Discover how educators can leverage experimental AI tools to engage students in innovative, real-world learning experiences that align with emerging industry trends. From AI-generated media to no-code prototyping, you’ll explore how schools can become launchpads for future-ready talent in a rapidly evolving workforce.
We know that just because career & technical teachers often lack expertise in teaching, it doesn't mean they lack expertise. So how do we teach people who are experts and novices at the same time? An individualized, non-threatening coaching relationship can make all the difference. We'll share stories, examples, and successes of partnerships we've had with many local vocational schools. We'll discuss key principles underlying the growth we've been seeing, and we'll incorporate practical advice for you to continue the work at your own schools/organizations.

This session offers a practical guide for vocational technical schools looking to introduce or expand the use of artificial intelligence in their programs. Using a proven framework and the DESE Integrating Artificial Intelligence document, we’ll help you take stock of where your school is now and chart a path toward making AI useful and meaningful for students and teachers. You’ll leave with planning tools and concrete strategies that show how AI can improve teaching, learning, and daily operations that work for teachers and administrators.
What You’ll Learn: How to assess your current approach to AI using six focus areas (curriculum, training, ethics, equity, feedback, and admin tools) How to build a functional plan for introducing or improving AI in classrooms and shops. How to align your efforts with DESE priorities, Perkins V goals, and workforce needs.
