The CoSN Webinar Series: Developing AI Innovation through the Stages of Adoption

How do you empower and equip your educators with AI literacy, especially when they have various levels of knowledge, experience, and attitude? Join our session to explore a research-based approach for designing professional learning that supports the growth of all of your adult learners. We’ll examine the stages of adoption from awareness and interest, evaluation and trial, to adoption and advocacy. Key questions and coaching supports to help your educators move from passive consumers to more active creators will be explored. We will share our experiences in delivering PD to build AI literacy and provide guidance for participants interested in implementing this framework in their own school or district.Key Take Aways:A clear understanding of the five stages of technology adoption: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption.Questions, coaching strategies, and resources to support staff at each stage of AI literacy adoption, meeting them where they are.Practical insights on designing and delivering effective professional development around AI literacy and innovationPresenters:Emma BraatenDirector of Digital LearningThe Friday Institute for Educational InnovationRaleigh, North CarolinaJaclyn B.
