Beyond the Shortcut: Designing Student-Centered AI Experiences with SchoolAI Spaces

The real power of AI in schools isn't just saving time—it’s about intentionally designing high-impact student-centered GenAI experiences.  This session highlights how educators in the Beaverton district are using SchoolAI Spaces to move beyond mere efficiency and create safe student-centered learning experiences that foster personalization, engagement, and student ownership. Join us as we explore SchoolAI features and dive into SchoolAI Spaces, a workspace where teachers create safe, student-centered environments. We will explore how these Spaces transform the student experience by providing real-time coaching and feedback that makes learning more iterative and reflective. Beyond just using AI technology, we’ll examine practical strategies to leverage these tools for equitable and more inclusive instruction.
