In today's rapidly evolving society, St. Vrain Valley Schools are prioritizing AI in education to prepare students for a globalized world. Through the year-long "Exploration AI" professional development program, educators are equipped with the skills to use AI effectively, ethically, and critically. This program includes a Professional Learning Network (PLN) using social media and online platforms, blending asynchronous and synchronous learning, and gamified incentives. Monthly after-hours events feature an EdCamp/Unconference format, tailored to educators' interests. The biggest takeaway for participants is a comprehensive understanding and practical skillset in utilizing AI within educational contexts, aimed at deepening their grasp of AI's potential and ensuring that well-informed teachers can facilitate students' effective use of AI in learning.
