Sixty-five percent of K-12 educators use AI technology, but only nine percent of district and school leadership teams use AI technology systematically. With over sixty percent of our K-12 students using this technology in their classrooms, educators have spent more time policing its use than embracing its benefits for our daily lives. Last year, only seven states issued guidance around its use in our schools, but that number is growing quickly.

This training is planned for supervisors, principals, and assistant principals. It will first discuss the benefits of strategically using AI tools in our daily work. These benefits will include some discussion around lesson planning, scheduling, evaluation, and professional development. We will then also discuss some of the pitfalls we need to effectively manage such as privacy concerns, misinformation and inaccuracy, and limitations if we are not professionally writing our prompts.

We will begin with an overview of the use of artificial intelligence in our K-12 public schools, learn how to create five step plans to encourage responsible use in your school or district, and we will hear from individuals who have used it successfully in their own system to improve feedback, streamline scheduling, and to enhance the immediacy of evaluation reviews in our state’s  TEAM model. We are fortunate to have Leneda Laing from Cleveland City Schools as our keynote speaker, and she will be followed by presentations from our state’s TETA leadership.

Join us to begin our year-long look at AI in leadership in Tennessee’s public schools. This is 2025’s first blended cohort session for supervisors, principals, and assistant principals, so register now.
