AI for Transformational Learning: An Event for NBCTs

Don’t just use generative AI to save time but to transform learning. This full day of learning and hands-on practice will prepare National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) to become proponents of responsible AI use in their classrooms, schools, and districts.

In her book AI Optimism: A Guide to Redefining Artificial Intelligence in Education, Becky Keene, NBCT, notes that “The question isn't whether AI will change education—it already has. The real question is whether we will use it to reinforce the status quo or to reimagine what learning can be.”

Becky will lead NBCTs through three modules that explore how teachers and students can use AI to transforms learning. Whether you’re a seasoned AI educator or new to AI, these sessions will equip you with the tools and strategies to transform your teaching practice and enhance student learning outcomes.

From Idea to Impact: Powerful Prompt Writing

Learn how to craft prompts that inspire creativity and critical thinking, using techniques such as chain of thought, flipped prompts, and more. Discover how different generative AI models respond to various prompt styles and gain practical insights into selecting the right approach for your educational goals.

Using Generative Tools to Transform Learning

Discover how generative AI can redefine your teaching practices, not just through substituting tech for traditional tasks, but through transforming the learning environment for your students. We'll dive into activities that align with the SAMR model and explore practical strategies to integrate AI tools into your curriculum, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes.

The Power of Partnerships

Discover how dynamic partnerships between teachers, students, and AI can transform learning in this interactive, thought-provoking session. Hear examples from real student uses where AI is enhancing — not replacing — human connection, creativity, and collaboration. Leave with real strategies to support ethical, future-ready learning.

After several years as an elementary school teacher and district technology specialist, Becky is now the CEO of Phygital Labs LLC. She is also the co-author of Sail the 7 Cs with Microsoft Education.
