Looking for quality professional learning in March ~
join ACTEM, MassCUE, and VitaLearn members for a 4-part virtual book study focused on using AI with Intention.
As artificial intelligence tools continue to make their way into classrooms and districts, educators are challenged to ensure these innovations truly serve students and support effective teaching and learning. Join teaching and leadership expert Tony Frontier for a four-part virtual book study of AI with Intention: Principles and Action Steps for Teachers and School Leaders.
This engaging book study, held virtually on March 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2026, explores practical, student-centered approaches to using AI responsibly and effectively in schools. Participants examine guiding principles and actionable strategies for assessing AI tools, supporting academic integrity, and maintaining a clear focus on high-quality instruction.
School leaders gain insight into building a shared, school-wide understanding of AI and implementing thoughtful, mission-aligned practices. Teachers learn how to leverage AI tools efficiently to support student engagement and productive struggle—without compromising learning.
New technologies may be evolving quickly, but this book study emphasizes that how we respond to innovation matters most. AI with Intention provides a clear roadmap for educators seeking to integrate AI in ways that strengthen—not undermine—teaching and learning.
