I don't think my mindset has actually changed; I just continue to learn with enthusiasm and hope to pass it on.

We generated a lot of ideas for the near future, and for me, it's exciting to be on this journey with my amazing colleagues. I think we will be intentional about the professional learning offerings that we create as well as bite-sized PD for our busy educators.

I continue to learn and I'm excited about the opportunity to continue my work and to grow with others in the use of AI.

We identified ways in which we can support local districts in their plans and goals. We determined having an hour long "road show" that is customizable to districts to take to their staff meetings, PLC's, etc to meet teachers and staff where they are in their journey in using AI and deeper their understandings. We are developing this to be ready to offer when we return for the 2025-2026 school year. We are being intentional about the professional learning offerings that we offer to districts.

It has been so nice to hear how everyone is using AI in the classroom. I like hearing how others are leveraging AI in their schools. It is giving me ideas on how to plan PL.

What I took most from this session is AI is continually evolving. It is important to stay fluid and continue to learn as AI changes and evolves. This will also be the case when working with staff and students. Some of the uses of AI have not even been thought of yet. It is important to have a good understanding of the ethical uses of AI and how it might be useful in the classroom.

I am much more open to AI today than I was even months ago. I learn more and more about it the more I work with it.

I will hold on to the process we followed with future planning, the past, and the connections. This process can be used for any change. In terms of AI I will hold on to our curiousity and willingness to learn. This will help us moving forward.

This course only reinforced what I was already thinking about AI and its integration in to schools.

AI is here whether we like it or not. Schools need to develop strong policies and provide meaningful professional development to ensure integrity. It's an exciting time to be in education and AI is an important tool in this venture.

I felt a little embarrassed at the beginning about my lack of experienced and interest with AI.  This workshop changed that and helped me realize the need and importance.  Getting our staff and students experience with AI is now a priority.

This is a work in progress.  It took time to struggle through where we were at with AI and how to get to where we want to go.  The focused time with my Jefferson team was invaluable.

We are less apprehensive of the broad use of AI in our district. We are more comfortable and can visualize the benefits of AI in education. Bedford is up for this challenge.

Through this process, we have been able to develop confidence in our ability to determine the AI path for our district. We have been able to use this time to focus on the priorities of AI use in Bedford, have been able to vet out obstacles or issues to overcome, and a timeline of next steps.Bedford has created a collective of educators to work through this together. Our PLCs will be able to work more effectively to reach their goals.
