SouthernTier ConnectEd Conference 2025

During this session, we will highlight the implementation journey of our Generative AI Pilot Program, which aims to teach high school students how to use Generative AI safely and ethically within an academic setting. This session will cover the development of teachers’ expertise in Generative AI, the creation of AI policy, our decision-making process for selecting an AI platform, and the strategic structure of the Pilot Program to ensure its success. Additionally, we’ll share real examples of how students are using generative AI in their classroom experiences, along with insights from participating teachers and students. All session resources will be accessible to participants, allowing them to follow our step-by-step approach and adapt it to their own schools or districts. This session is a great way to discover how you can get your students using Generative AI safely and ethically in an academic setting.
