Closing Keynote - Special Guest Carl Hooker

Friday May 8, 2026 8:30am - 9:30am EDT

AI adoption is already underway in your district. Now is the time to lead it with purpose. As generative AI becomes embedded in teaching and learning, the real challenge shifts from access to impact. How do you move beyond isolated use toward system-wide coherence? How do you ensure AI use deepens learning rather than shortcuts it? And how do you build guardrails without slowing innovation?

In this fast-paced, interactive keynote, we’ll focus on what’s next: scaling AI with intention. From redefining assessment to strengthening AI literacy and aligning tools to instructional goals, you’ll gain practical strategies to turn early adoption into meaningful, sustainable transformation. As AI impacts the future of work, we should focus not just on what students create, but how they think.
