About This Webinar

FOR AFT MEMBERS ONLY 

This 90 minute interactive training demystifies AI for educators, focusing on practical strategies to save time, spark creativity, and support student learning while keeping teacher voice and safety at the center. Participants will explore AFT’s Commonsense AI Guardrails, get hands-on with beginner friendly tools like Khanmigo, and practice crafting prompts that deliver clear and actionable results. You will leave with AI resources you can use tomorrow, and the confidence to experiment with AI as a trusted teaching ally.

Join the AI and Education Community!

Join the team from the AI Educator Brain, which includes AFT’s Share My Lesson director Kelly Booz; New York City Public Schools teacher Sari Beth Rosenberg and EdBrAIn, our AI teammate (yes, it named and designed itself!). In this community, we will dissect the pros and cons of AI tools in education. Our mission: to determine how AI can support teaching and learning, and when it might be best to stick with tried-and-true methods.
