AI Educators Institute: From Literacy to Fluency
JFY’s AI Leaders announced the details of the JFYNet AI Leadership Institute, which has since rolled out. For administrators, teachers, teacher coaches, and curriculum specialists, this means gaining expertise in AI-powered pedagogy. The Institute will provides hands-on exploration of AI tools for efficient lesson planning, dynamic content creation, and engaging presentations. Additionally, you’ll learn to leverage AI for formative and summative assessment, personalized learning, and effective differentiation, using FREE AI tools from Google and Microsoft.
