Truly A Game Changer: Generative AI

​As Generative Artificial Intelligence rapidly transforms possibilities for teaching and learning, Anneke Emerson, Chief Innovation Officer at Viewpoint School, is using resources from the Association for Academic Leaders to help her lead conversations about AI on campus. Anneke found the resources, learning, and connection to build a strategy that focused on getting individual teachers the clarity and knowledge they needed to acquire skills and further teaching and learning on campus.​

"We wanted to dig into AI this year, and I always thought of the Association as producing incredibly high quality work," Anneke said. By taking the Association course, AI Considerations for Academic Leaders, she had the “opportunity to work asynchronously, discuss problems of practice with other leaders and access a wealth of carefully curated videos, data, and written resources." 

Anneke’s work in the class helped her to understand the importance of making sure first encounters with Generative AI were manageable and accessible. She designed a brief, user-friendly online resource to jump start conversations at the start of the year: “I used some of the video and written resources, as well as the course’s big questions to guide our framework.” She also designed workshops for teachers using the resources from the course. "We really wanted to get AI language into rubrics, into syllabi, and into classroom conversations when students returned to school last fall," Anneke emphasized. "The Association's course, and the resources we were able to develop as a result, helped us give folks the information they needed to consider how they wanted to set expectations with students.”
