This course prepares (future) educators of all kinds to thoughtfully engage with artificial intelligence (AI) in K-12 educational contexts through ethical inquiry, hands-on design, and different forms of pedagogical practice. Grounded in human-centered perspectives, students will explore how AI is reshaping the landscape of teaching and learning from personalized tools and algorithmic systems to creative applications and student agency. Participants will build foundational knowledge of AI technologies, critically analyze their implications for equity, labor, and surveillance, and experiment with real-world tools to evaluate their pedagogical promise and pitfalls. Through reflection, redesign, and teaching simulations, students will develop their own stance as educators operating in--and helping reshape--AI augmented schools. Whether you see AI as opportunity, threat, or both, this course will equip you to lead with vision, ethics, and confidence. To be clear, students are not expected to have fluency with the covered technologies but will be expected to become familiar with them and develop (over the course) literacy in using generative AI.
