Prompting Plus: From Basic AI Use to Practical Advantage
LIMITED
Tuesday July 14, 2026 9:45am - 10:30am EDT
Limited Capacity seats available
Many school leaders have experimented with AI, but better results require more than a basic prompt. This session is designed for administrators who want to move from casual use to practical advantage. Participants will learn how to structure prompts more effectively, give AI the right context, show it what strong output looks like, and use meta prompting so AI can help create better prompts. Along the way, the session will include a few “I didn’t know it could do that” moments through practical examples connected to work in a Google Workspace district. For busy leaders, these strategies can save time, improve the quality of planning and communication, support stronger instructional leadership, and make AI a more reliable thought partner instead of a hit-or-miss tool. The session aligns with Future Focused Academics by helping leaders build the knowledge and confidence needed to use AI with greater intention and impact.
