Session Details:
Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM EST
Discover how AI can cut your lesson planning as a K-12 teacher from hours to minutes while creating more engaging, differentiated instruction that serves every student. This practical Masterclass shows you how to use AI as a thought partner for UDL-aligned lesson design and smart IEP modifications—without sacrificing your professional expertise or the authentic teaching relationships that matter most. Walk away with ready-to-use prompts, an ethical framework for responsible AI use, and strategies that educators can actually implement in their classrooms.
Predictive Modeling
Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EST
Learn how predictive modeling and machine learning appear in the insurance industry. This includes the journey of the first business question to a model that actually runs in production. I’ll start with business pain points insurers care about (risk scoring, claims triage, fraud detection etc.) and initially zoom in on the translation of the problem. As a business need moves through the corporate hierarchy, the problem gets reframed, narrowed, and measured differently, until it becomes a technical prediction problem with a specific target, time window, and definition of “success.” The talk follows the full lifecycle of a technical problem from turning messy data into usable signals, iterating advanced algorithms under constraints and validating results in a way stakeholders can trust.
Using AI (and not) to Flourish in Education Research
Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2026
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM EST
Explore how AI can support your research and development as a scholar-practitioner in the education field. Also, consider when AI is not the ‘go-to’ for your development. Come see how you can develop your ideas through the collaborative processes in partnership with AI, peers, and faculty.
