Mini Conference Agenda

10:00	Welcome Introduction and Updates with Lisa Low, Director of the Division of AI Pedagogy and Policy
10:30	Keynote Discernment, Trust, Hope: How Human Values Shape Teaching & Learning in the Age of AI with Carter Moulton With the widespread impact of generative AI (genAI) tools, educators across disciplines face an urgent pressure to redesign their course policies, learning outcomes, in-class activities, and assessments. For many of us, it all feels like too much. This interactive keynote reframes our response to AI by revisiting what, why, and how we teach, and how we build environments of curiosity and care with and for our students. Drawing on Analog Inspiration, a card deck project featuring over 80 human values ranging from "accessibility" to "wonder," we'll explore what it means to develop a human-centered AI pedagogy practice—one that prioritizes human values, concerns, and skills. Through this lens, the session will outline practical strategies for cultivating trust with students, making student thinking visible, fostering intrinsic motivation, and strengthening the human relationships that make learning meaningful. Participants will have a chance to engage with the Analog Inspiration cards during the session, and will leave with concrete strategies they can implement in their own classrooms.
11:30	Reflection Group Discussion and Wrap Up
