Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly present in K–12 classrooms, mentors in teacher preparation programs must help preservice teachers navigate emerging technologies with confidence, purpose, and responsibility. This 30-minute session shares practical approaches for using AI to increase mentoring efficiency, provide high-quality instructional feedback, and empower mentors supporting preservice teachers. Rather than centering on tools alone, the session focuses on mentoring practices that leverage AI to streamline coaching tasks, enhance engagement, and support reflective teaching practice. Participants will leave with actionable strategies that can be applied immediately across teacher preparation contexts.
