Great Opportunity for Superintendents Around A.I. Please find a message below from Dr. John Nash from the University of Kentucky about an upcoming opportunity related to AI and the Superintendency:   The course is called School Superintendent AI Bootcamp, and it’s for school superintendents, associate superintendents, school heads, chief academic officers, principal supervisors, and principals. We’ll cover topics such as how to talk about AI with teachers and the community, plan for generative AI implementation, implement generative AI ethically, and keep student learning at the center of everything in the presence of AI.   The course is based on frameworks I developed over the last year, running teams of students and leaders through AI training. I’ve already coached scores of folks to use generative AI to improve the way they work and the way they teach. Now, I’m looking to share this knowledge with school leaders because if they don't get it, nobody will. You can follow this link to get on the waitlist and be the first to hear when enrollments open: https://lnkd.in/g4eKdsvt. Or you can email me directly at jbnash@gmail.com and I’m happy to share more.     All the best for a joyous holiday season and New Year,   John B.
