  • CEI is excited to be at the The Attainment Networks Career-Connected L/Earning Conference this week and to learn from and with our education colleagues from across the state! Thank you to all who joined the morning sessions co-presented by CEI in partnership with Colorado Succeeds, Empower Schools, and Lyra Colorado. If you're in attendance TODAY, we hope you can join our CEI team members for the following session starting at 3:10 p.m. “AI Will Enhance the Role of Educators, Not Replace Them” with CEI’s Karen Quanbeck, Vice President of Statewide Partnerships and Patricia Quinones, Senior Partner. Session Description: The emergence of AI in education has some speculating that educators will soon be replaced by technology. Nothing could be further from the truth! Relationships, connections, and distinctly “human” classrooms will take on greater importance as education goes through potentially one of the most significant periods of change in recent history. Join this session to deepen your understanding of AI and its potential to actually enhance the role of educators and gain insight into limiting fears and increasing efficiencies. We hope to see you this afternoon and we’re looking forward to joining you all for more exciting sessions tomorrow! Agenda: https://bit.ly/3ZxUhqz
