Amp Up Your Lesson Design Workflow with AI in the Loop

In-Person: The Jewish Education Project 1675 Broadway 15th Floor
$75.00
Session 4: December 1, 2025 at 9:00 am - 3:30 pm EST

This full-day workshop brings you back to what great teaching starts with: clear goals, thoughtful design, and meaningful student work. Using the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework, you'll walk through the full backward planning process—this time with AI as a strategic support. Bring an idea for a unit or lesson you’d like to develop and use the day to build it out with intention. You’ll leave with a well-developed unit plan, practical tools, and a renewed sense of clarity and creativity.
