In an era marked by rapid technological evolution and shifting educational paradigms, equipping our students for the forthcoming challenges is crucial. This groundbreaking workshop invites educational leaders to apply their collective expertise to address a specific 'problem of practice' within their fields. Through an immersive and collaborative process, participants will harness a range of cutting-edge AI tools to dissect current educational challenges, project future trends, and craft innovative solutions tailored to their unique contexts. This session is designed not only to forecast the future of education but to actively shape it by solving real-world issues that educators face today. Attendees will leave with actionable insights, strategies, and tools that can be implemented in their respective areas, aiming to elevate educational standards across the state of Maine and beyond. Each participant will contribute to a rich tapestry of solutions, benefiting from a shared repository of knowledge and forward-thinking approaches to education, with a focus on supporting the well-being of students in an increasingly digital age.

As much as we’re worried about ‘learning loss,’ our students aren’t going to learn if they’re not first engaged. Let’s create reasons for students to come to school and opportunities to do things that are interesting! In this active, hands-on Redesign Lab, we will use the free 4 Shifts Protocol to redesign lessons, units, and other instructional activities for critical thinking and problem solving, greater student agency, more real-world authentic work, and robust technology infusion. We also will peek inside some deeper learning schools around the country to see how they’re approaching this instructional design work. Bring a charged laptop and be ready to collaborate!
