Teaching for the Future: AI and Creativity in the Classroom

How future-focused is your classroom? How do you engage students in thinking creatively and envisioning possibilities? And how can artificial intelligence tools help to foster that creativity? Join us for the virtual Taste of Confratute on January 28, 2026, where you’ll discover strategies to help students ask better questions, think critically, and dive into inquiry-based research using AI. You’ll also learn how to use AI tools to spark curiosity, support meaningful research, and open doors to creativity in the classroom. At the same time, you’ll reflect on how to balance the power of technology with human skills like curiosity, originality, and problem-solving. Walk away with new ideas, practical tools, and fresh inspiration to make AI work for you and your students.

Meaningful Differentiation: Linking the Why and the How

How do we make our differentiation really meaningful for learners? What are the important considerations for using differentiation to support advanced learners? What are some of the pitfalls that might get in our way?  Explore these questions and more during the virtual Taste of Confratute on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, featuring a keynote by Dr. Catherine Little, as we examine how intentional differentiation can deepen learning. You’ll explore some of the things to do and not to do in building differentiated learning experiences, discuss key elements of differentiation to support challenge and complexity, and evaluate samples for important features.  Walk away with practical ideas, instructional tools, and renewed clarity around how linking the why and the how of differentiation can elevate learning across classrooms.
