The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Its Implications for Education
Artificial Intelligence—from classroom teacher to Principal to Superintendent—can pose as an unwanted challenge OR it can be an ally that relieves you of some of the tasks and responsibilities that consume your time and energy. Dr. Daggett will offer strategies that will allow you to employ AI as your co-pilot, freeing you from many of your time-consuming tasks and allowing you to focus your attention on other important matters. AI does require careful oversight, however, and Dr. Daggett will describe ways to use it responsibly and with caution. Dr. Daggett will then describe how AI will increasingly impact the workplace, home and society, which will cause a major shift in the skills, knowledge and attributes students will need to be successful in the world beyond school.
System Transformation — Where Are You Now? Where Do You Want To Be In Two Years?
Dr. Bill Daggett will show HOW school systems can become future-focused by breaking out of the confines of traditional classrooms and textbooks and fostering the development of critical skills that empower students to navigate the challenges of the future. This vision of a future-focused school positions students for success in their future and not our past. Dr. Daggett will provide a description of successful innovative structures and strategies that rapidly improving districts are using, leading to improved student performance for ALL students — from the most struggling to the most gifted. Examples of tools and strategies to restructure our curriculum, instructional practices, and assessments will be provided.
Preparing Students for Their Future NOT Our Past
From mental health issues to the post impact of COVID to the impact of artificial intelligence, our classrooms and schools are being impacted in multiple ways. Dr. Daggett will describe new and emerging strategies to address these challenges and opportunities. He will then describe the impact they are having on the skills, knowledge, and attributes our students will need to be successful in the changing workplace and society. He will conclude by providing specific strategies teachers, administrators and support staff may want to consider to position classrooms, schools and their students for future success.
Restoring Balance to Schools While Preparing Students for Their Future
Several national reports have been released about the skills, knowledge, and attributes that our students will need in the immediate future to be successful in a progressively information-based and technology-driven society and workplace. At the same time classroom teachers, school nurses, counselors, principals, central administration and superintendents are finding it very difficult to set their focus on the future needs of our students due to the multiple challenges they are facing in the wake of the pandemic. The levels of stress and burnout among educators, students and the entire school community is unprecedented. The sentiment of “please do not give me one more thing to do or to think about” is commonly heard by educators and completely understandable, as is the desire to get back to “normal”. How is it in any way reasonable to contemplate planning for the future during this time?
So how do school leaders provide the support and leadership to staff, boards, and communities to address both today’s daunting challenges while positioning their systems for future success?
Dr. Daggett will share what the nation’s most successful school districts have done to restore balance in their schools while simultaneously preparing students for the future, not our past.
