Using AI Tools to Design Lessons that Build Human-Centric Durable Skills

Description: At Dwight-Englewood, our approach to Artificial Intelligence begins and ends with people. Teachers matter most: as guides who help students develop the durable, human-centric skills that no technology can replace. This session explores how AI can serve as a tool for faculty to enhance lesson plans that foster students’ development of durable skills that align with D-E’s core Values and Human-Ed Traits.

The session will feature a panel of D-E Tech Liaisons discussing how AI is shaping the world and how educators can prepare students to thrive by designing learning through a lens of human-first skills. Following the panel, participants will engage in division-specific breakout sessions to workshop lessons or unit plans using D-E-approved AI tools. These collaborative sessions will provide time to explore ways AI can enhance learning while nurturing the metacognitive and human-first skills that define a D-E education.

Objectives:

• Connect D-E’s Human-First approach to AI with the school’s Values and Human-Ed Traits.
• Apply knowledge in division-specific breakouts by using D-E-approved AI tools to design or refine a lesson or unit that fosters durable, human-first skills.
