The burgeoning interest in Artificial Intelligence (AI) within education has surged in recent years, catalyzed in part by the widespread presence of ChatGPT across social media and news outlets. This increased attention has prompted schools and universities to recognize the transformative potential of AI technologies to reshape the educational landscape (USDOE, 2023). Nevertheless, amidst this enthusiasm, a spectrum of concerns has been raised regarding the integration of AI into educational settings. These concerns span from issues of student and data privacy to questions about the validity of information, equity, and ethics (Selwyn, 2022).
Addressing these multifaceted concerns necessitates a thoughtful and well-informed approach to fostering AI literacy within education. Thus, a university faculty team developed “AI EmpowerED: Navigating the Future of Teaching,” a professional development (PD) workshop designed to support the responsible and effective utilization of AI in enhancing the school experience of students, mentor teachers, and teacher candidates. Teachers from university partner schools, and teacher candidates in the university program, were immersed in an exploration of the pivotal role of AI in education, participating in activities that highlighted the pedagogical and practical implications of AI applications within education (Shum & Luckin, 2019).
This presentation will describe the development of the PD, its content, and the impact it had on the professional development of mentor teachers and teacher candidates, through survey data. It aims to provide insights into AI PD for educators, while also addressing the critical need for responsible implementation and ongoing reflection.
