Building Practical AI Skills Together
As educators, we know that meaningful professional development happens when we can learn from each other's experiences, share what works, and iterate on new approaches together. This partnership between Teach Smarter and CoLab creates a space for educators to develop AI literacy through hands-on learning, peer collaboration, and real classroom application.
Rather than learning about AI in isolation, educators can connect with colleagues across districts to share workflows, troubleshoot challenges, and build confidence with AI tools that actually support teaching and learning.
