We have provided a presentation to our board of education some of the benefits of AI as a classroom teacher. The time saving protentional is could provide to staff a small school. We are working together to create building level presentations by demonstrating some AI tools.

The wow factor our board of education had when various AI tools were demonstrated.

Providing staff the opportunity for training and the initial fear of AI. How do we utilize AI with students.

We have made a lot of progress! We already completed a PD session with our staff and given them Edge-U Badges time to work on micro-credentials for some of these tools.

Our "Glow" is having a 2 hour PD session on AI tips/tools for our K-12 staff.  As a coach, I was able to present to the staff, which was requested by our admin team.  Knowing our staff was all over in skill level and acceptance, it went very well.  We already have a lot of success stories of teachers and staff using it in their classrooms, and even having students use it.

Our "Grow" areas are continuing the work we started with the entire staff.  We are putting a survey out to staff to see what they've used and how they've used it.  This should give us some good info.  Also, we are working on times to have the EdTech coach (me) work with smaller groups to help them with some of the tools to better understand them.  We still have apprehensive staff on the topic of AI, so we will need to continue working on this.

Our problem of practice is, "How can we as a district embrace AI and use it as a tool to foster teaching and learning?" We started by crating a presentation of three AI tools to present to our school board. We are scheduling time with out principals to present during staff meetings.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Gvr_dJ3k
The presentation was received very well by the school board and administration. We demonstrated how these tools can be used easily and for no cost within the classroom setting.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.yAprODxw
We still need to get everyone on board with embracing AI and seeing it as a tool rather than something used for dishonest purposes.

We successfully implemented 2 forms of PD to showcase not only our Brisk Teaching tool, but AI and other technology based solutions. The first was a basic introduction to the tech platforms we pay for as a district(Kami, Brisk, Edpuzzle and Swank) and the second was a PD 1/2 day with 16 sessions covering Discovery Education, Canva, Brisk, and Google Slides that teachers could choose to attend(4 sessions per teacher) throughout the afternoon. Our Elementary STEM teacher and Tech Integration coach attended MACUL last week to gain knowledge as well as our Superintendent and Tech Director attended to touch base with some of our vendors.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Gvr_dJ3k
We had a GREAT conversation including the Tech Director, Technology staff and Integration coach around the material in our workbook for this project. The hardest thing for our team is to carve out time, so, this helped us get on the same page and I'm excited for the next steps of planning. 

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.yAprODxw
We are still facing challenges with getting ALL admin on board, creating implementation strategies that are all inclusive and following through on the great ideas we have put out there into the HPS universe.

Glow: We've met as a group.  We've opted to have champions who will work with different groups/communities to model and encourage AI use within each group.

Grow:Our Tech has developed their own Generative AI open source app which we're testing internally (on a small scale.)  If successful, it has the potential to be expanded for all ISD staff or more.    

# data[].attributes.body
I have made very little progress.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Gvr_dJ3k
I have been able to explore and use different AI platforms.

Time! Actually finding the time to work on the assignment for this PD.

Working with the MAISD to help support teachers with AI tools

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.yAprODxw
We just need to sift through the AI tools and figure out how each one will help with what we want our staff and students to use.  We also need to get in touch with each group to talk about what they need and want.

# data[].attributes.body
Explored resources and options for integrating AI into instruction.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Gvr_dJ3k
We have been able to make progress and decide on a resource to integrate for additional student supports and staff capacity / resources.

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.yAprODxw
Lots of questions on the student experience and how we can establish a process to fully integrate.

Very little movement for North Muskegon Schools. My administrative team has already filled their time with initiatives that an AI Focus for the current year is not really in play

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.Gvr_dJ3k
I think that taking on a lot of this onto my own has helped them see that utilizing these tools can remove burden from their day to day responsibilities

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.yAprODxw
It takes time to gain back time - and my team has not had the investment that we'd like to see in a new approach of AI.

We have lined up our ducks- we have established a plan!
