    [Learning in the Age of AI: Level 2] Differentiate Instruction with AI

    Tailoring instruction to meet diverse learners in a classroom is challenging and time consuming but can yield results for students that are life altering and empowering. Finding the right mix of tools, strategies and resources will help teachers attain the goal of meeting the needs of all students in the classroom. Technology and Artificial Intelligence have done much to assist in this somewhat daunting task. In this course, participants will explore data-gathering tools to assess students' entry points to learning, explore instructional models and technology tools that foster differentiated instruction, and dive into AI tools that facilitate differentiation that help make the process much easier to accomplish.
    NOTE: This course may be taken as a standalone session, but it's also part of a learning pathway that can earn you a Level 2 Badge ("Classroom Integrator.") To learn more, visit https://sites.google.com/lhric.org/lhriclearningpaths/learning-in-the-age-of-artificial-intelligence.

    This course is 100% online and will take approximately 6 hours to complete. This course begins on October 14, 2025, and participants have until November 12 to complete all required assignments and activities to receive CTLE credit.

    Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) will now be notified in the Fall of their annual NYSAA status, including required Tier 1 supports and Tier 2 and 3 required interventions.

    Tier 1: Please refer to the 2024-2025 NYSAA participation data, posted on the Office of Special Education NYSAA Justification webpage, to determine your Tier 1 NYSAA classification.
