How can school leaders harness the power of AI to fuel innovation, personalize learning, and support educators? Dyane Smokorowski and Rob Dickson, from Wichita Public Schools (WPS), are setting the pace. Join us as they unpack WPS's bold approach to AI integration: one that's focused not just on technology, but on people.

Dyane and Rob share how their district is using AI to create more meaningful, customized learning experiences for students while also providing educators with practical tools that enhance their work, not replace it. Together, they dive into the mindset shifts, professional learning, and strategic planning it takes to move from AI curiosity to sustainable implementation. From tackling common fears to celebrating quick wins, this conversation explores what it really takes to lead AI adoption in education and why WPS is positioning its educators and students to thrive in an AI-powered world.
