Turn PD into Student Success: Career Choices Implementation Workshops

Start the year with the confidence to help students build a strong foundation for the future. Our 6-hour Career Choices Series Implementation Workshop provides practical tips, proven strategies, and ready-to-use resources to streamline your course planning and implementation. This facilitated online workshop will equip you to implement the program successfully from day one.

The goal is simple: help educators create learning experiences that have a lasting impact on students. As Liz Renteria of Nevada Union High School shared:

"It is really cool to see how impactful the work that we have been doing really is. I really do, being in my position, get to see how they carry the work that we do with them."

That's the kind of impact we're committed to helping educators achieve. Register today and start the school year ready to make an impact.

In Case You Missed It: Rethinking Learning in an AI-Impacted Classroom

As we head back to school, educators are preparing for another year of navigating the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence in the classroom.

In her conversation with Kevin Boston-Hill, Mindy Bingham explores how schools can move beyond simply detecting AI use to rethinking how students learn, write, and demonstrate understanding. The discussion highlights the importance of designing assignments that prioritize authentic thinking, personal voice, and the learning process while helping students use AI as a tool, not a replacement for learning.

For educators looking to prepare students for success in an AI-driven world, this conversation offers practical insights for the year ahead.
