AI Consortium
Harper College AI Consortium for Educators
Harper College is forming an AI Educators Consortium with our partner districts, and
we invite you to be a part of it. AI is raising new questions and possibilities in
education. Whether you're actively working on it or just starting to explore, this
is a good time to come together and learn from one another. As AI continues to evolve
rapidly, a collaborative approach can help us stay ahead of the curve and ensure student
success.
Purpose
- Bring together educators, education technologists, and leaders involved with AI to
share strategies, tools, and challenges as we navigate AI’s role in education.
- Connect high schools and Harper College to share what’s working and identify where
efforts should be focused.
- Aligning AI efforts to better support students’ readiness for college and the workforce.
- Highlight innovative AI practices already happening in our schools.
- Address shared challenges related to AI policies, training, and implementation.
- Develop a data collection plan and select measures to evaluate the inquiry of shared
ideas, perspectives, ethical considerations which will inform opportunities for change
and improvement in AI-infused practices in education.
- Build communities of practice to create a space for continuous reflection and improvement.
- Build capacity and agency surrounding the integration of AI concepts into curricula
and teaching practices, the use of AI tools in the classroom, and in the overall education
environment.
- Co-design AI educator professional development and AI Literacy frameworks for students
and educators.
