The launch of artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT have increased awareness for K12 classroom and district leaders. The topic of many water cooler and school board conversations, AI language models and chatbots have created a revolutionary moment in the world of education. In this webinar we’ll cover what our role as edtech leaders is in a district’s approach to generative AI and how to increase understanding around AI while decreasing disruptions to K12 lessons and curriculums. We’ll also discuss what the future might hold for AI and K12, disruptive IT analogs we can relate to, and derivative works and curriculums.
MTSS teams have the important responsibility of collecting, connecting, and analyzing vast amounts of data that inform decision-making to ensure all students are supported efficiently and effectively. The problem is that data often “lives” in different systems and formats, which can make it difficult for educators to develop a comprehensive view of student needs, growth, and overall success. So how do we ensure that the appropriate data are identified, aggregated, and exchanged so we can DO something with it? Enter Data Interoperability! In this webinar, we’ll explore what data interoperability is and why it’s critical to your MTSS practice. We’ll also use Branching Minds and ClassLink as examples of how data interoperability looks and how it can help streamline your MTSS practice, enhance collaboration, improve outcomes, and ensure equity.
