Beyond Integrity: Designing Learning for an AI-Integrated Classroom
Thursday July 16, 2026 10:20am - 11:20am CDT
In this interactive session, we’ll explore how Virtual Arkansas is tackling AI-driven academic integrity and rethinking traditional approaches to plagiarism and assessments. But AI isn’t just changing how students work, it’s also becoming a powerful assistant for teachers. From streamlining feedback to enhancing lesson planning, AI can support educators in creating more meaningful, engaging learning experiences.

Join us as we move beyond “catching cheaters” to fostering ethical AI use, designing smarter assessments, and leveraging AI as a partner in education. Expect practical strategies, real-world examples, and a fresh perspective on AI as both a student tool and a teacher ally. Leave with actionable insights to transform AI from an academic integrity dilemma into an opportunity for growth!

AI for Learning: Instant Insights, Stronger Instruction, Better Results
Thursday July 16, 2026 11:40am - 12:40pm CDT
Discover how AI-powered tools can turn school and district data into clear, actionable insight for everyday practice in the classroom. This session will show how AI helps align curriculum, assessments, and professional learning to state standards and state test blueprints so educators can close learning gaps, strengthen instruction, reduce manual data work, and support student success.

Join a diverse group of educators who are using AI-driven platforms, such as EdInsights and Prometric Pathways to move beyond static reports to real-time, visual dashboards. Presenters will share practical examples of how AI is surfacing patterns, flagging student needs earlier, delivering assessments directly to students with immediate results, and making it easier for teachers, counselors, and leaders to respond quickly and confidently without adding to their workload.
