From Floor to Ceiling: When HQIM Meets AI Engagement, Students Grow

Educators are navigating an overwhelming landscape of AI tools with little guidance on where to begin, and this session cuts through the noise. Participants will explore current research on what AI can and cannot do for students, discover how pairing AI with High-Quality Instructional Materials creates the conditions for meaningful and equitable learning gains, and examine a real-world example from the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District where teachers used AI to uncover local history their textbooks never covered. Whether you are just beginning your AI journey or looking to scale what you have already started, you will leave with a clear framework, practical next steps, and resources you can bring back to your classroom or district immediately.
