Artificial intelligence has transformed the conversation about the future of education. Across schools and districts, leaders are grappling with the same urgent question: How should we respond? Too often, discussions around AI focus narrowly on the technology itself and overlook the broader, future-focused transformations that will truly prepare students to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

To help bridge that gap, Jerry Crisci, former Director of Instructional Technology and a frequent keynote speaker on AI and education, will introduce a fresh and forward-thinking approach to understanding AI’s role in schools. In this thought-provoking and highly visual session, Jerry will unpack the “big ideas” behind AI’s opportunities and challenges for educators. Participants will gain a richer understanding of the key ideas and issues shaping AI in education and discover how it connects to a larger, future-oriented vision for teaching and learning. Ultimately, they will leave inspired to lead conversations that define not only how we use AI, but how we imagine the future of education itself.
