TABLE2: In My AI-Assistant Era: Building Human-Centered GPTs for Reflective Leadership and Instructional Innovation

Step into the AI-Assistant Era — where educators don’t just use AI, they design with it. In this interactive session, edtech leader Pamela Santerre and her co-presenter Alvy — a Custom GPT she built as her strategic partner — model how educators can create AI assistants that reflect their tone, values, and purpose. Rather than mindless automation, this workshop centers intentional AI design. Participants will learn a no-code framework for building their own GPT assistant, explore prompting strategies that reinforce healthy boundaries, and reflect on the ethical and instructional impact of bringing AI into their work. Whether you're a coach, leader, or classroom educator, you'll leave with practical tools and a refreshed vision of how AI can support communication, planning, coaching, and creativity — in ways that amplify who you are, not overwrite it. Interactive elements include: - Live GPT co-facilitation - Reflection prompts for AI alignment - Build your own AI Executive Team This session is hands-on, human-centered, and designed to spark connection — with technology and with your own voice.
