In a recent free workshop, we share about how to be intentional with AI usage. This doesn't mean not using it to support the planning process, but instead using intentional prompts to compliment your expertise as a teacher. Check out the recording on YouTube!
Handout: AI Prompts for PBL Project Planning
This handout shares some prompts we use when planning PBL projects to ensure we are using AI with the care and consideration it needs.

Facilitating Professional Learning
Facilitating Professional Learning
In our experiences facilitating professional learning, we have came across challenges not uncommon to those who facilitate professional learning. From these challenges the following resources were created:
Monitoring Menu
Monitoring Menu
This tool supports facilitators to consider ways to monitor during professional learning. As teachers engage in planning or problem-solving, this tool offers various roles such as: offering just-in-time support, and encouraging reflection without taking over the work.
