JFY at MassCTE 2026
Real conversations. Practical AI. What CTE educators need now.
Thank you to everyone who connected with JFYNetWorks at the MassCTE Annual Conference on March 28. From the exhibitor hall to our workshop and roundtable sessions, we had the opportunity to engage with CTE educators from across Massachusetts about what’s working—and what’s next—in AI and blended learning.
What We Shared
Empowering CTE Classrooms with AI + Blended Learning.
- Integrating AI tools into real classroom instruction
- Supporting teachers with practical, responsible AI use
- Improving student outcomes through blended learning strategies
These conversations were grounded in what educators are actively testing, refining, and beginning to scale—not just what’s coming next.
