Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, including the work of teachers. In this interactive session, CTE educators will explore how to use AI as a professional support tool for lesson planning, assessment design, instructional material creation, and other high-impact tasks. The session will be co-led with AI Fellows participating in a statewide CTE initiative, who will share tested examples and practical insights from their experiences.Rather than focusing on AI tricks, this session introduces repeatable prompts and practical processes for using AI responsibly and strategically. Participants will generate and refine lesson components aligned to pathway standards, design authentic performance tasks, and elevate instructional materials while maintaining strong alignment to program expectations. Throughout the session, we will emphasize how AI can support high-quality, standards-aligned instruction while preserving teacher judgment and professional expertise.Participants will actively test AI tools and strategies during the session and leave with ready-to-use prompts, example workflows, and adaptable resources they can immediately implement in their CTE classrooms.
