Innovating for Success: Cutting Edge Practices
As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly evolves, special education leaders must understand its potential to enhance instruction, improve student outcomes, and support educators. This session explores how AI-powered tools align with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), empowering teachers to deliver more personalized, data-driven, and accessible instruction. Yes, AI offers challenges and yet, when planned and designed appropriately, AI-supported tools can further empower educators and the students they serve. Attendees will gain actionable insights into AI-driven solutions that support struggling learners, assist with progress monitoring, and streamline instructional planning. Real-world examples will highlight how AI enhances, not replaces, teacher-led instruction, allowing educators to better meet diverse student needs while reducing workload. Participants will actively engage with AI tools, learning how to implement them effectively while ensuring ethical, responsible use. Designed for special education administrators and leaders, this session equips attendees with actionable strategies, ready-to-use AI resources, and confidence in leveraging AI as a powerful, teacher-led innovation that enhances student success.
