I will share how a VR and AI-integrated environment can transform teacher preparation by creating low-stakes, deliberate practice opportunities. I will present findings from a study in which teacher candidates used AI-driven VR scenarios to practice leading grade-specific discussions, supported by reflections and performance metrics from the sessions. Participants will then engage in a guided discussion on how these strategies can be adapted within their own instructional contexts. #VR-practice #teacher-preparation #AI-in-education #OvationVR
