How can schools leverage AI while ensuring equity for all students? This session, led by members of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), will dive into the state’s efforts to support schools and districts in navigating the challenges and opportunities AI presents. Participants will gain insights into DESE’s AI Task Force’s process of identifying shared hopes, fears, and needs, as well as related resources. You’ll hear about key takeaways and early recommendations aimed at ensuring equitable AI integration in education. Participants will have the chance to share their perspectives on what equitable AI implementation looks like in their own context and learn about resources that align with their schools' specific needs. Join us for a collaborative discussion on shaping the future of AI in Massachusetts schools, with a focus on empowering all students to succeed.
