A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As a longtime educator, I know how overwhelming it can feel to meet the needs of every student in a classroom filled with diverse abilities, interests, and learning styles— especially while juggling curriculum pacing guides, classroom management, assessment demands, and more. For years, I believed that differentiated instruction was a well-meaning ideal that demanded too much of my time, even though I knew it was the best way to meet students where they were. But now, in the era of AI, my thinking has changed.

In this all-new, highly practical seminar, I'll show you how AI tools and strategies can make differentiation not only doable, but dramatically more efficient, engaging, and timesaving. You'll discover how easy it is to tailor instruction to meet the needs of all your students while also reducing your prep time, simplifying grading, and lightening your overall workload.

Together, we'll explore:

  • Timesaving AI tools that help you generate differentiated tasks, scaffolds, and enrichment with just a few clicks
  • Innovative ways to personalize instruction without starting from scratch
  • Strategies for using AI to provide more targeted feedback and streamline assessment
  • Real examples of how to modify your existing lessons for immediate impact
  • Simple routines for integrating AI into your daily planning and classroom practices

Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with it, this seminar will provide you with a toolbox of powerful, ready-to-use strategies for your K–6 classroom. You'll receive a digital handbook packed with resources. I hope you'll join me for this energizing, eye-opening day. You'll walk away empowered, inspired, and ready to turn the promise of AI into a practical, student-centered reality.

Sincerely,
Anne Reece

P.S. Now is the time to embrace the ways AI can help you differentiate learning and give you back your time. Let's deepen our understanding of differentiation and reimagine what's possible— for our students, and for ourselves.
