Had a great time on Living East Tennessee sharing 3 practical ways to use AI this school year:
📸 SNAP IT
📚 LEARN IT
💡 PLAN IT
The goal:
AI shouldn’t replace thinking. It should support it.

Teacher Excellence by Design™

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

Sustainable professional learning isn't about one good workshop. It's about building systems that teachers can use every day. #studentengagement #edtech #professionallearning

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

Tomorrow at #CFISDDLC:
Student ownership doesn't happen by chance—it's designed through systems.
And the question isn't, "How do I run small groups?"
It's, "Why this group? Why today?"
Looking forward to sharing both sessions!

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

Excited to be presenting at the #CFISDDLC on July 21!
Engagement by Design: Where Students Own Their Learning
Small Groups That Matter: Differentiation That Actually Moves Learning
Sharing strategies for engagement, differentiation, student ownership, & small groups.

The checklist template shown here is available in my resource store for educators looking for a ready-to-use framework for Small Group, Independent Practice, Digital Content, and Future Ready Studios. https://t.co/gxqzBWuViZ

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

What if differentiation was built into the system instead of added to the lesson? This 3-day checklist helps students:
📊 Use their data
🎯 Focus on priority standards
📚 Access targeted practice
🚀 Apply learning through projects
Student ownership starts with good design.

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

In the age of AI, the final product is no longer enough evidence of learning.
Grade the process:
💡 Brainstorm
🤝 Collaborate
✏️ Revise
🛠️ Create
🎯 Present
The process reveals the thinking.

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

AI doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing initiative.

Start with time-saving tools ➜ use data to support differentiation ➜ build toward personalized learning.

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

Busy doesn’t always mean engaged.

Compliance completes tasks.

Engagement drives learning.

@jimknight99 Partnership is often the foundation that allows every other coaching strategy to succeed. Thanks for sharing this reminder, Jim.

[Marcia Kish @dsdPD]

@cynthia_urteaga @Anabel_Ruiz19 Love seeing students actively talking, moving, and working together around the math. Engagement often comes from the learning experience itself—not just the content being taught.

@Catlin_Tucker Change your space, you change their mindset! Love it
