Upcoming Webinars

Join us for an engaging webinar, Supporting Districts in AI Implementation, on April 21st at 6pm. This session brings together leading voices working at the intersection of education and AI through the SPARK initiative. 

SPARK (Supporting Practical AI for Real K-12 Classrooms) is an 18-month initiative that helps a small cohort of Florida districts build the capacity to use AI thoughtfully and responsibly for teaching and learning. Led by Impact Florida with the University of Florida’s CS for Everyone Center and aligned to the Florida K-12 AI Education Task Force, SPARK helps districts move from isolated pilots to coherent systems that connect policy, practice, and instructional improvement.

As AI tools become increasingly accessible in education, many teachers are wondering where to begin and how to use AI in ways that enhance learning. Join us to explore how AI is currently being used in classroom contexts, concrete ways teachers can start integrating AI into instruction, and how to support responsible, developmentally appropriate use from early grades through high school.

As Artificial Intelligence reshapes the educational landscape, Florida’s school districts face a critical challenge: how to move beyond “wait and see” to implement active, responsible governance. Join us for a deep-dive session into the transition from conceptual AI frameworks to actionable district policy.

Moderated by Dr. Maya Israel, Director of the CS Everyone Center at the University of Florida, this webinar features a powerhouse panel of state and national leaders. We will explore how Florida districts can leverage the EDSAFE AI Policy Stack—a comprehensive toolkit designed to help education leaders draft and pass policies that prioritize safety, accountability, fairness, and efficacy.

Join us for a crucial Hour of AI discussion as we unpack Florida’s new Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CS/AI) Standards, which became effective in July 2024.

Florida is one of the first states to adopt a comprehensive K-12 AI education program to prepare its youth for an AI-enabled future. However, successful implementation requires alignment between national frameworks and local district strategies.

This expert panel brings together leading voices from AI4K12, Data Science 4 Everyone, and a seasoned Florida School District Leader to guide educators and administrators through the transition.

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into K-12 classrooms necessitates a fundamental shift in how Florida prepares its next generation of educators. While current teacher preparation programs focus on foundational pedagogy, they must evolve to equip pre-service teachers with the knowledge and competencies to not only use AI tools effectively but to also teach about them ethically and responsibly. Join members from across the FL K-12 AI Task for this crucial conversation!

Join Florida AI K-12 Task Force school district IT leaders to discuss the key challenges and opportunities of implementing AI. Speakers will explore the benefits of AI; from enhancing instructional practices to streamlining administrative task; while also addressing the critical risks and considerations, including data privacy, security, and scalability. Join us for a strategic conversation to building a community of practice on technological infrastructure that supports the future of AI in education.
