CHS Teachers Attend AI Workshops
CHS Teachers Attend AI Workshops CHS faculty participated in workshops on Monday in an effort to enhance their proficiency and understanding of AI.

“With high school students especially, we really need to be on the forefront of technology, and to be able to keep up with them,” CHS Principal Carrie Lipenholtz said. “For us to be able to educate our staff on AI was really important. We plan to utilize it to the best of our ability so that we can really strengthen the resources and tools that we bring to our students.”

Staff had an opportunity to learn in one of six workshops that were offered, spanning from an introduction to AI, to how AI can be utilized to elevate lessons in the classroom.

“There’s a general view of AI that it is this monster in education, so part of today is dispelling that myth to give teachers ways to use AI as a resource, and a tool for responsible use,” CHS assistant principal Eric Biagi said. “Today is about empowering our teacher leaders as ambassadors for the use of AI in their classrooms and ways to help their colleagues infuse it into their curriculum and into their professional lives.”

As AI continues to evolve, CHS plans on continuing AI education for faculty into next school year.

“Over the last year, it's become evident that AI is here to stay,” executive director of instructional technology Alise Pulliam said. “I’m so very proud to be working in a district where the administrative team is embracing supporting teachers in gaining knowledge and exposure in the world of AI.”
