Professional learning should change what educators notice, question, and do—not simply give them more tools.
The Visible Thinker provides interactive professional learning for educators and instructional leaders focused on teaching, learning, assessment, and the changing role of artificial intelligence in education.
Sessions begin with the learning problem rather than the technology. Educators examine authentic instructional decisions, test ideas against their own practice, and leave with frameworks and strategies they can actually use.
If AI can produce the finished product, what evidence still demonstrates student learning? Educators examine assessments at the level of individual thinking moves and redesign them to preserve meaningful evidence of student reasoning.
AI has made student thinking harder to see—but the challenge isn't new. Professional learning can focus on questioning, metacognition, writing-to-learn, cognitive demand, formative assessment, and instructional practices that make student reasoning visible throughout the learning process.
Build the judgment educators need to use AI responsibly. Sessions can address verification and hallucinations, bias and representation, privacy, human oversight, prompting, appropriate disclosure, and the limitations of generative AI.
Professional learning can be designed as keynote-style sessions, interactive workshops, half- or full-day professional learning, multi-session series, department or leadership sessions, and customized district learning experiences.
Sessions can be adapted for educators who are just beginning to explore AI as well as schools and districts ready to move from basic AI literacy toward deeper questions of instruction, assessment, and implementation.
