ISTE+ASCD Kick Off the Community of Practice
On February 4-5, 2025, ISTE+ASCD held a convening in Chicago comprised of a diverse group of educators from 38 states. The purpose of the convening was to launch the 15-month Community of Practice as part of GenerationAI. The Community of Practice Fellows include district and school leaders as
well as educators. The Community of Practice will allow educators to conduct action research and collaborate around problems of practice related to the integration of AI in meaningful ways that transform education. ISTE+ASCD will be releasing a video during the month of March that highlights the convening and the work happening with this group.
