Webinar ELA

Leading with Human-First Literacy in the Age of AI

As AI enters classrooms, literacy instruction is at a turning point. The question isn’t whether to use AI — it’s how to use it responsibly while protecting student thinking, meaningful dialogue, and teacher expertise.

Join our three-part webinar series to explore how educators can lead with human-first literacy practices, using AI intentionally to support — not replace — high-quality ELA instruction. We’ll examine where AI adds real value, where it falls short, and how educators can stay firmly in control of instructional decisions.
