TABLE8: GenAI for School Leaders: a practical tactile set of learning tools

This session introduces a safe, emotionally intelligent path to GenAI adoption for K–12 education. Participants will explore our proven AI Tinkerers’ Cards—a hands-on deck that turns generative AI into something educators can physically hold, question, and learn through. With collaborative play and reflection built in, we tackle both the fears of district leaders and the curiosity of forward-thinking educators. No slides. No jargon. Just authentic engagement with a rich toolkit you can bring back to your school or district. Whether you''re a superintendent, school principal, or PD facilitator, you’ll walk away with tested activities, practical resources, and a replicable structure for building trust and fluency with GenAI—one card at a time. Curtis Michelson, as a certified trainer in the GenAI Cards will show how easy it is to communicate key concepts and generate creative use cases for schools, along with the help of co-presenter Tatsiana Sokalava, CEO/Co-Founder of Career Scoops will provide excellent real-world examples from her experience interfacing with system and district leaders.
