AI-driven video observation gives teachers a faster path to reflection. By recording classroom practice and analyzing it with AI tools, educators can identify their own strengths and growth areas without waiting for a supervisor or mentor. This session shares concrete examples from teacher candidates who used quick, constructive feedback to sharpen their teaching. Attendees will leave with practical ideas for building video observation into their own teaching and schools supporting teacher growth.
While teachers are responsible for the learning taking place in their classrooms, there are times they are not set up for success due to inadvertent limitations. In this session, former classroom teacher and current technology coordinator, Jeff Neuman, will discuss current trends in educational technology, effective technology integration, and how principals & technology coordinators can, and should, work together to promote student learning.
Join us for an inspiring session on transforming the end-of-year chaos into a dynamic team-building opportunity. Discover how our instructional team has planned a month-long series of daily activities throughout December, designed to enhance staff skills, foster creativity, and ensure fun. These activities not only boost morale but also serve as a platform for staff to teach and refine their tech skills using iPad devices and STEAM tools. Examples will feature iPad skills and tools, but can be personalized for any setting or age level. This session is perfect for instructional leaders looking to engage their teams to build culture and skills capacity.
