Description

This 45-hour graduate-level course explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be meaningfully integrated into K–12 classrooms to support instructional planning, student engagement, assessment, and professional growth. Using *The Artificial Intelligence Playbook* by Hargrave, Fisher, and Frey as the foundation, educators will build fluency with AI tools, reflect on their practice, and develop actionable lesson plans grounded in the six “Educator Functions.” Through guided reflection, knowledge checks, and hands-on lesson design, participants will leave the course with practical skills to responsibly and creatively leverage AI in their classrooms.
