Agenda

1. Alpha Generation Traits. One of the five reasons why students are absent or leave for an alternative has to do with the characteristics of the current K12 student population.
- Perfect for: Any administrator as they consider trend turn-around tactics, and teachers for creating pace-based or project-based learning to personalize for students.
2. The Nines. What are the nine types of AI and what happens when they converge? New consumer-focused Generative AI is only one of the nine. Additionally, what are the nine types of human intelligences and should schools pivot to develop them all or stay with the two most focused on since the manufacturing Age?
- Perfect for: Training any educator to understand the meaning of AI in teaching and learning so that practices are not overwhelmed, and administrative policies understand the full picture. Driving new discussion about the often-overlooked co-intelligences of humans in traditional learning that may need to come to the forefront to balance the AI convergence on the horizon.
3. The Missing Orderliness of Teacher & Institution Workflow Logic. Three areas of discussion including safety and security workflow, curriculum workflow and tech model workflow.
