The PD Lab: Using AI to Design Differentiated Professional Learning

Traditional professional development often takes a one-size-fits-all approach, even though teachers bring diverse experience levels, strengths and learning needs. This interactive workshop shows school leaders, instructional coaches and educators how to use artificial intelligence to design personalized, engaging and impactful professional learning. Grounded in research on adult learning, transformational learning and differentiated instruction, the session moves beyond basic prompts to focus on meaningful systems-level implementation. You will get hands-on as you use AI tools to create teacher choice boards, personalized reflection prompts, differentiated coaching supports, data-informed PLC agendas and professional development pathways tailored to educators' varying needs. Explore how to keep AI-supported professional learning human-centered, collaborative and supportive of authentic growth. Leave with ready-to-use templates, prompt frameworks, practical AI workflows and planning tools you can customize across grade levels, departments and leadership teams, and implement immediately within existing PLCs, coaching cycles, faculty meetings and schoolwide professional development to increase teacher engagement and personalize support. All workshops are BYOD and require All Access or Session + Registration to attend.
