What does it actually look like to use AI in classrooms, across grade levels, content areas, and student needs, in ways that are ethical, practical, and impactful?
This session shares findings from a Missouri AI study grant, where educators from diverse settings, including preschool, special education, gifted education, rural and urban schools, and pre-service programs, explored how AI can support instruction without adding to teacher workload or compromising student learning.
Participants will walk away with real examples of how AI is being used to:
- Support differentiation and meet diverse student needs
- Strengthen instructional design and student engagement
- Maintain academic integrity while leveraging emerging tools
- Use data to inform instruction and track student growth
This session is designed to move beyond theory and into practice, offering clear, classroom-ready strategies that educators can implement immediately. Attendees will also gain insight into the challenges, considerations, and opportunities that come with integrating AI in responsible and meaningful ways.
