Generative AI Is for All of US

​​Bob Weiman, Associate Head of School at St. Stephen's and St. Agnes School (SSSAS), and his colleagues realized quickly that the wide availability of Generative AI was going to be "transformational in a way that other forms of technology haven't been--and this is going to change teaching and learning."  For them, it's important not to think of Generative AI as a disruptor or novelty but instead as a partner or co-creator in the work of the school. Bob and his team centered the school’s principles in this process complement to the principles and processes that ground the school. Bob's plan is focused on making sure Generative AI is used thoughtfully, aligned with the school's mission, and integrated across the school's classrooms, departments, and offices. As he says, "AI isn't just a technological advantage; it's redefining the way we teach and learn." 

Bob started out by "reading every article, watching every YouTube video, and going to every webinar." The Association's course AI Guidance for Academic Leaders was instrumental in Bob's drive to understand the impacts of Generative AI. "There were so many high-caliber resources included. Instead of having to do all of that searching on my own, it was right there." Bob found added benefit in attending the Association's live programming: "The Meetups and Cohorts were even better."
