Four presentations. Six session opportunities.
Practical conversations for educators navigating AI, assessment, workforce readiness, and student success.
The Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators (MAVA) Conference is almost here, and JFYNetWorks is excited to join educators, school leaders, and innovators from across the Commonwealth for two days of learning, conversation, and connection.
As workforce expectations evolve and emerging technologies reshape industries, educators are being asked to prepare students for a changing future while continuing to deliver meaningful, student-centered learning experiences.
This year at MAVA, our team will share practical ideas and classroom-ready approaches designed to help educators connect learning today with the opportunities students will encounter tomorrow.
Whether you are exploring artificial intelligence, authentic assessment, workforce readiness, or instructional innovation, we invite you to join us.
Choose the Conversations That Matter Most to You
With four presentations offered across six session time slots, attendees can select the topics most relevant to their goals and interests.
For CTE and workforce readiness teams
From Shop Project to Smart Project: AI-Assisted Project Programming for Vo-Tech Students
Massachusetts vocational students are already learning how to build, repair, design, cook, wire, machine, style, and fabricate. This session explores how AI-assisted programming, AI Vibe Coding, and intelligent tools can help bridge the physical and digital worlds while reinforcing workforce readiness, employability skills, student agency, and Chapter 74 program innovation.
For educators exploring AI in instruction
The Creative Edge: Connecting AI, Coding, and the Future of Work
As AI reshapes industries across manufacturing, construction, agriculture, health sciences, and IT, coding is becoming more than a technical skill. Explore how computational thinking, accessible AI tools, and low-barrier “vibe coding” can support adaptability, creativity, and real-world problem solving across vocational pathways.
For educators focused on authentic assessment and student engagement
From Evidence to Action: Using AI to Amplify Authentic Assessment in ELA & Math
Discover how AI can help educators transform authentic ELA and math performance tasks into timely, instructionally useful evidence while preserving teacher judgment, strengthening student agency, and supporting meaningful feedback and learner-led action.
For leaders thinking about implementation and innovation
Learning to Learn AI with AI: Mind Shifts and Techniques for the Future of Work
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming skilled trades, technical fields, and emerging career pathways. This session introduces a practical framework for vocational and technical educators to develop the mindsets and practical techniques needed to prepare students for workplaces where human expertise and intelligent systems operate side by side.
