Hi all - I finished this micro-credential this spring and found it very valuable.

: ) Jenny

I am excited to share that we are launching our fourth cohort for: AI in K-12 Education, a micro-credential from Skills21 at EdAdvance in partnership with Southern Connecticut State University’s Office of Workforce and Lifelong Learning (Register Here).

The third cohort that is well underway includes 100-plus exceptional educators from a wide range of backgrounds including district superintendents and assistant superintendents, a large group of library media specialists, and teachers ranging from K through 12. While designed for K-12 educators, faculty in higher education have also found the course relevant and valuable. The activities can be easily tailored to fit your context, making it a great fit for educators across settings. I’m pleased to say that the feedback was universally positive, including testimonials like this one: “This was one of the most helpful, engaging, and applicable PD Courses I have taken in a long time. I now feel more confident engaging with the AI tools presented in the course and gained a deeper understanding of how AI could benefit teachers and students while thinking about important considerations carefully and methodically.”

Dr. Liz Radday and I, hosts of the ChatEDU podcast, will lead this next six-week, self-paced training starting July 7th. The course includes five hands-on modules focused on integrating AI into your classroom, school, or district. We’ll cover:

AI Foundations
Text, Image, and Video Prompting
Shifting Assessments with AI
AI Multimedia
Your Future Focus

We’re also offering optional Zoom meetings (6-7 PM) on these dates:

July 10 (Thursday)
July 17 (Thursday)
July 24 (Thursday)
August 7th (Thursday)

The cost for this course is $499 per participant, and registration is now open. Discounts are available for group registrations: 20% off for 2 participants and 30% off for 3 or more participants. Everyone who completes the program will earn a digital badge through Southern Connecticut State University in partnership with Credly.

If you have questions about registration, please contact Jen LaBella at labella@edadvance.org. For course details, feel free to reach out to Liz Radday at radday@edadvance.org. Also, you can visit our website: www.skills21.org/ai/micro or review the course FAQ document here.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with others in your district who might benefit from learning how to integrate AI into their work.

Looking forward to seeing you in the micro-credential!

Best,

Matt Mervis
