"Can my students use AI on this?"

If you're an instructional coach or curriculum lead, you've probably heard that question this week.

Maybe more than once.

It's a good question.

It's also really hard to answer with a policy document.

Teachers don't need more general guidance. They need something they can pull out during planning time, bring to a department meeting, or use when a student asks, "Is this cheating?"

So we are running a small cohort to build exactly that.

AI for Curriculum & Instruction

Four 45-minute sessions for coordinators, coaches and C&I leaders. You'll build:

→ an AI-aware planning guide

→ questions for reviewing an assessment

→ a protocol for conversations with teachers

You'll test your ideas with other educators who are working through the same questions, and leave with tools shaped for your own school.

📅 Tuesdays: Oct 27, Nov 3, 10 & 17

🕞 3:30–4:15pm ET

💡 Early-bird $575 through Sept 30
