AI: On the Cutting Edge of Creativity and Efficiency
Maybe you remember the ELIZA chatbot or when IBM’s Deep Blue defeated the chess whiz Garry Kasparov. You were probably around for the arrival of Siri, the virtual assistant designed to answer our most pressing questions.

It’s been around for a while, scaling in the 2020s across fields, including education, where it has transformative potential.

In a recent edWebinar, sponsored by ClassLink and co-hosted by CoSN and AASA, education leaders reflected on the challenges of the past year and the possibilities of the upcoming school year.
How School Leaders Can Make Lasting Change
As a new principal at the Dunwoody Springs Elementary School, Fulton County Schools, GA, Ivy Goggins faced pockets of success in the building, a climate of teachers working in silos, and the lack of true collaboration. These are common challenges for many instructional leaders, teachers, and coaches, and Goggins sought to find a way to create a culture of mutual respect, cooperation, and equitable learning opportunities for her teachers and students. In CT3’s recent edWebinar, Goggins, her principal coach Joy Treadwell, Ph.D. from CT3, and Jim McVety, Managing Partner of First Step Advisors, delved into solutions to these challenges through the essential leadership skills that have the potential to impact the entire school community.
