Part 1: The Spark & The Shift (15 Minutes)
Content Focus: We will start by hooking the audience with the shared challenge of providing timely and effective writing feedback. I will introduce the core concept of the "AI-Powered Feedback Loop," contrasting the outdated "AI as grammar cop" model with the new, powerful "AI as Socratic coach" paradigm.
Audience Engagement & Activities: The session kicks off with a fast poll to instantly engage the audience and surface their challenges with writing instruction. This is followed by a brief, high-energy presentation using storytelling and compelling visuals. The segment concludes with a peer-to-peer "Turn and Talk" activity, prompting attendees to discuss student revision with their neighbors to activate their thinking and build community.
Part 2: The Live Demo - AI Coach in Action (20 Minutes)
Content Focus: This segment is a live, "show, don't tell" demonstration. Using an authentic student writing sample, I will model how to craft ineffective versus highly effective pedagogical prompts. The focus is on teaching the audience how to "talk" to the AI to get coaching-style feedback instead of simple edits.
Audience Engagement & Activities: This is a whole-group, interactive demo. I will pause and solicit suggestions from the audience to co-create prompts in real-time, making them active participants in the process. During the demo, I will share a QR code linking to a prompt, rubric, and tool library, allowing attendees to save the demonstrated techniques to their own devices instantly.
Part 3: The Workshop - Design Your Own Feedback Loop (25 Minutes)
Content Focus: This is the hands-on core of the session. Attendees will be guided by a digital template (e.g., a shared Google Doc) to adapt an existing writing assignment from their own curriculum. The goal is for each participant to blueprint an activity that incorporates the AI feedback loop model.
Audience Engagement & Activities: This is a device-based, peer-to-peer workshop. Attendees can work individually or in pairs on their laptops/tablets to complete the template. To create a dynamic and supportive atmosphere, I will circulate as a facilitator to offer one-on-one help and encourage collaboration between participants.
Part 4: The Huddle & The Horizon (15 Minutes)
Content Focus: We will bring the group back together to share their work and discuss key implications. We will briefly but directly address the essential ethical considerations (academic integrity, bias, etc.), framing them as design challenges. The session concludes with a strong call to action and a Q&A.
Audience Engagement & Activities: We will facilitate a brief group share-out, allowing a few volunteers to showcase the assignment they just created. The ethics portion will be handled through a quick, interactive "What If?" scenario discussion. A final QR code will be shared, linking to a comprehensive resource package with the presentation slides, prompt library, and supporting articles for attendees to take away.
