While the AI landscape shifts daily, the need for a stable, scaffolded approach to staff professional development is constant. Many schools are stuck in a "random acts of AI" cycle; this session offers a way out. Join us as we break down a three-phase roadmap designed to move staff from initial apprehension to instructional innovation.

Participants will explore a scaffolded rollout structured in three critical stages:

Phase 1: Building Capacity – Establishing a foundation of trust through AI ethics, the implementation of a site-specific "AI Scale," and a balanced approach to academic integrity that moves beyond "catch-and-punish" detection.
Phase 2: Fostering Curiosity – Moving into the "Playground" stage by leveraging advanced tools like custom Gemini Gems and NotebookLM, while centering the most important voices in the room: a student perspective on AI in learning.
Phase 3: Transforming Learning – Looking toward the future of pedagogy by redesigning assessments to be AI-augmented rather than just AI-resistant, ensuring our tasks prioritize the human skills that matter most.

Whether you are a district leader looking for a rollout strategy or a teacher-leader seeking to inspire your peers, you will leave this session with resources to lead your own transition from panic to prompting.
