🔍 Highlights from the Council of the Great City Schools (CGCS) Conference 📊 The event is spectacular! Here are some of our notes and key takeaways. Do you have any others you would like to share? 🎓Many conversations are centering around budget cuts & declining enrollment. Schools are consolidating due to budget constraints and reduced student numbers. 💡 Emotional Intelligence in Data-Driven Futures "People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care." Focus on growing your strengths rather than worrying about weaknesses. 🤖 Embracing AI in Education Your job might not be replaced by AI, but by someone who knows AI better. Teachers seek practical AI use cases in classrooms over policies and guidelines 🌐 Navigating the AI Frontier Featured Speaker: Richard Charles, CIO of Denver Public Schools. Emotional Intelligence for AI (EIAI): Training rollout on AI to empower students. Topics: AI safety, security, data protection, and governance. Action Item: Connect with Richard for involvement opportunities. 🛡️ Defending Against Cybersecurity Threats AI can be a tool for scammers—awareness is crucial. Digital citizenship needs renewed focus. Positives: Decline in phishing, helpful analytics from hardware manufacturers. 100% of attendees admitted to struggling with their AI ecosystem. Districts find it challenging to keep up with the fast pace of AI advancements. 🔗 #CGCSConference #CGCS #EdTech #AIinEducation #Cybersecurity #EmotionalIntelligence #DigitalCitizenship
