Beyond the Pilot: Leading AI at Scale

Move your district from scattered AI pilots to systems that last, with structures that support teams and grow leaders at every level. About this event: Most districts have a few teachers doing remarkable things with AI and no way to spread it. The early adopters found the tools themselves. They built their own workflows, worked out what to trust, and got good fast. The teacher down the hall still isn't sure whether using AI to draft a parent email is allowed. That gap is not a training problem. It is a systems problem, and it belongs to leadership. This full-day workshop is for the people responsible for closing it. We will work on the structures that turn isolated AI use into district capacity: building guidance people actually follow, creating conditions where teachers share what works, identifying and supporting the leaders already emerging in your buildings, and planning for tools that will change again next year. Expect to leave with a draft plan for your own context and a clear sense of what to do first. We will use real AI tools during the day, but the work is about the systems around them, not the demos. Useful whether you have a formal AI policy or nothing on paper at all. No prior AI experience needed, though those who arrive with real AI use already happening in their buildings will get the most from the planning time. Who should attend: Instructional coaches, building and district administrators, technology directors and their teams, and anyone responsible for how AI use develops across a school or district. --- ESC and CIESC Member Discounts Is your school district a member of CIESC or another ESC in Indiana?
