This 6-hour in person workshop provides educators with practical, time-saving, strategies and tools to effectively integrate generative AI (GenAI) into science of reading-based literacy instruction. The day of instruction balances hands-on exploration, collaborative discussion, and actionable planning tailored to participants' instructional contexts. There will be separate facilitators and , breakout sessions for elementary and secondary teachers and leaders so participants can connect with role-alike educators.
Learning Outcomes: Understand key principles of productive struggle and how tools like generative AI can augment, rather than replace, evidence-based literacy practices, apply models such as Scarborough's Rope and Duke's Active View of Reading to evaluate and design instructional resources, develop strategies for analyzing and refining AI-generated texts and activities for classroom use, focusing on accuracy, bias, and developmental appropriateness, explore the integration of GenAI in foundational skills, including fluency and decodable text creation, while maintaining a focus on student learning objectives and reflect on guiding questions to ensure AI use aligns with literacy goals and supports students' developmental needs.
