Upcoming Professional Learning Sessions
Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 6:00-7:00 pm ET
Programming is shifting from complex syntax to natural language, a movement known as "vibe coding." In this webinar, we move beyond the hype to define what vibe coding actually is—and where its limits lie—compared to traditional programming. Through a live demonstration and a look at practical use cases, you will see how educators can use simple prompts to transform ideas into functional digital tools. Whether through real-world personal examples or common classroom scenarios, we will explore the "vibe-based" approach to development and evaluate how it can best support your unique pedagogical goals. Join us to discover how to turn your pedagogical ideas into working prototypes and evaluate when this "vibe-based" approach is the right fit for your classroom goals.
Note: This is a second offering of the Vibe Coding 101 that was offered on April 7, 2026.

Previous Professional Learning Sessions
AI is rapidly reshaping the workforce—and the skills that matter most for students are changing with it.
In this session, explore how to redefine workforce readiness for the age of AI through concrete examples and data-driven insights. We’ll introduce new research from aiEDU and the Burning Glass Institute that connects real-world workforce trends to K–12 learning.
You’ll be introduced to the AI Readiness Framework, a practical tool to help educators and leaders:
Deepen conceptual understanding where it matters most
Transform workflows and instructional practices
Streamline what can be automated
Prioritize uniquely human skills
Hear how Red Wing Public Schools has brought this work to life—embedding AI readiness into their Portrait of a Graduate and long-term strategic plan.

As AI becomes part of everyday learning, many schools are turning to AI detection software to address concerns about academic integrity. But what role should these tools really play? This webinar explores the limits of AI detection, how to respond when a student is flagged, and a broader, learning-centered approach grounded in transparency, dialogue, and student agency. Participants will gain practical strategies to support responsible AI use while protecting meaningful learning.

Co-hosted by aiEDU and Quill.org, this webinar aims to showcase how strong writing instruction and AI readiness go hand-in-hand. We will define what AI readiness is, how it connects to writing, and how students can become stronger writers and learn to think critically about AI simultaneously. We will also showcase our Building AI Knowledge curriculum, a free resource that teachers can use to build writing, AI literacy, and critical thinking skills simultaneously.
Learn how to help students question what AI tools tell them and make smarter choices about when to trust them. Join us for a hands-on walkthrough of our new Evaluating AI Outputs AI Snapshots to build critical thinking, source-checking, and healthy skepticism in your classroom.
