Description:
This session explores how data and Artificial Intelligence can be leveraged to build solidarity across communities, systems, and movements in education. Educational leaders will examine not only what AI is and why it matters, but also how it can strengthen student engagement, representation, and success. By deepening their understanding of data, analytics, and behavioral concepts, leaders will discover how cultivating a shared data culture can foster relationships, accountability, transparency, and equitable outcomes. Participants will also engage with the risks of unchecked AI, including bias and misrepresentation, and explore strategies to harness AI for inclusion, equity, and collective transformation.
