Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

We remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders and countless others who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we honor their memory and the strength, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed.

We remember. 🇺🇸

In CTE, AI can help students explore ideas, develop plans, solve problems, and take project work further. But the thinking, judgment, hands-on learning, and role of the teacher still matter.
That’s the approach JFYNet𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 is bringing to 𝐁𝐏𝐂𝐓𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟏–𝟐𝟑 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐬.

Our latest article explores what responsible AI can look like in career and technical education—and what we'll be demonstrating live at the conference. 🌊

AI can generate ideas, analyze information, write code, and create a first draft.

So what should students still learn?

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Critical thinking. Sound judgment. Creativity. Collaboration. Empathy. The ability to recognize when something is accurate, ethical, useful—and when it isn't.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞 explores how educators can bring AI into authentic learning while keeping students' thinking, craftsmanship, and professional judgment firmly at the center.

Because while the tools students use will continue to change, the uniquely human qualities great educators work to develop become even more essential.

Helping students learn to work with AI is about more than learning a new technology. It's about helping them think critically, solve problems, communicate clearly, and use AI responsibly.

Today's blog article, inspired by JFYNetWorks' presentation at the 2026 MAVA Connecting for Success Conference, explores practical strategies educators can use to help students move from AI literacy to AI fluency through authentic classroom experiences.

Authentic assessment gives teachers some of the richest evidence of student learning.

The challenge isn't collecting that evidence—it's finding the time to turn it into meaningful instructional action.

Our blog explores how AI can help educators strengthen authentic assessment in ELA and Math by organizing evidence more efficiently, identifying meaningful learning trends, and supporting timely feedback—all while keeping teachers at the center of every instructional decision.

What a great two days at !

JFYNetWorks wrapped up its final conference session with "Learning to Learn AI with AI: Mind Shifts and Techniques for the Future of Work." Thank you to everyone who attended a session, stopped by our booth, and shared ideas about preparing students for what's next.

We'll be at our booth for a little while longer this afternoon—if you're still here, we'd love to connect!

We're ready for Day 2 at !

Stop by the booth to explore practical AI resources, connect with our team, and continue the conversation about AI, Career & Technical Education, and the future of learning.

📘 Pick up a complimentary copy of our 5 Practical Ways Schools Are Using AI in CTE & Vo-Tech guide while you're there.

Whether you're looking for new ideas, professional learning opportunities, or practical strategies you can bring back to your school, we'd love to meet you!

A great session this morning at !

AI Education Specialist Mike Mino shared practical strategies for using AI to create richer, hands-on learning experiences to enhance hands-on learning, foster creativity, and help prepare Career & Technical Education students for the future of work.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation!
