SUMMARY:POP Roundtable: What Comes Next? Making Meaning of the Reimagining High School Report
DESCRIPTION:What could the Massachusetts Statewide Graduation Council’s recent Reimagining High School report mean for the future of secondary education? Will its recommendations require modest changes to our high schools\, or challenge us to rethink the entire student experience? And what support will educators and leaders need to move this work forward? \nJoin Power of Place on September 24 from 4:00–5:15 p.m. on Zoom for a PoP Virtual Roundtable focused on making sense of this report and exploring its potential implications for students\, educators\, schools\, and districts. Participants will engage in discussion and shared learning in both role-alike and mixed groups\, leaving with new ideas\, useful resources\, and greater confidence about how to approach what comes next. This conversation will also help Power of Place understand what kinds of learning\, resources\, and support would be most valuable across our communities and networks as Massachusetts begins to reimagine the high school experience. We look forward to your input and ideas. \nRegister today to join us on September 24. \nNote: Power of Place Virtual Roundtables are designed for participants across all PoP Learning Communities and Networks\, but this event is open to any educator or leader interested in the future of Massachusetts education. To foster a candid and courageous “brave space\,” this session will not be recorded. \n

SUMMARY:ECLC Opportunity: Staying Human in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Who: All Essex County Educators\nWhat: Kickoff for 18-month Staying Human in the Age of AI learning series: Pedagogy: Accessibility and Equity with AI\nWhen: September 30 (in person)\nLearn more and register\n\nParticipants in this full 18-month learning series engage in sustained learning across three interconnected strands that examine how AI can be understood\, applied\, and evaluated in educational settings. \n\nCapacity Building and Technical Training: Participants will explore a range of AI tools that support professional practice\, including adult-facing applications and student-facing tools. The experience includes hands-on training\, opportunities to examine what tools currently exist and how they can be used effectively\, and workshops designed to prepare participants to serve as in-house trainers within their schools or districts. (Facilitated primarily by Day of AI)\nDevelopmental Implications: Participants will examine the intersection of AI with human and adolescent development. This strand explores the social\, emotional\, and relational implications of AI in schools\, including its impact on relationships\, learning environments\, and student well-being. (Facilitated by Mel Sellick)\nPedagogical Implications: Participants will consider when and how AI should—or should not—be used in the classroom. This strand focuses on making intentional\, student-centered pedagogical decisions based on learner needs and classroom contexts. Participants will explore how AI can enhance accessibility\, support universally designed learning environments\, and strengthen learner agency\, while also critically examining potential limitations and risks depending on the tools used and the students served. (Facilitated by Susan Shapiro)\n\nParticipants \nThis experience is intentionally designed for school-based teams to participate together\, though individual educators will also be welcome to the series. When leadership teams and educators learn as a group\, they build a shared understanding of the technology\, develop discernment about when and how AI should (and should not) be used\, and build real internal capacity for their home school/district. Participating teams will be well-positioned to bring their learning back to the school as an advisory group and as internal PD leaders on all things AI—supporting thoughtful\, consistent decision-making across classrooms. \nTime Commitment \nParticipants will be asked to partake in no more than one synchronous activity each month: either a workshop (virtual or in-person) within one of the content strands or a virtual PLC-style Community of Reflective Practice (CRP) to make meaning of the continued learning. Most workshops and CRPs will be tiered by grade spans (PK-5\, 6-8\, 9-12) to address the differing implications of the use of AI within each grade span. \nIncentives \nParticipants who complete the full series will be eligible for at least 30 PDPs. \nClick here to register and view the full calendar for the learning series.
