"... the lack of clarity about districts’ AI-use policies is one of the top reasons many educators have yet to experiment with the emerging technology. It has also led to confusion among teachers about how to handle student misuse of AI tools, according to educators."

My teammates and I had a fantastic time leading a PD session on “Designing Flipped Classroom Lessons with Canvas.” We demonstrated how to design a three-part flipped lesson and highlighted how this supports the AZ EdTech Standards. I'm excited to see how teachers implement this in their classrooms!

#Multilingualism doesn’t develop overnight-it flourishes in the right conditions. Every lesson should provide opportunities for students to listen, speak, read, & write while building content knowledge. #Language doesn’t develop in isolation-it grows in connection, context, & community.
