Storm into Summer 2026

Remember when Google first arrived in schools? Teachers were unsure, students were curious, and policies needed to be updated. AI is at that point. It is already part of student learning, the question now is: how do we leverage it effectively? This session focuses on using AI not only to increase student engagement but also to meaningfully differentiate instruction at the Tier 1 level. Participants will explore practical AI tools that support lessons, scaffold tasks, and help build well-rounded lesson plans. Grounded in MTSS principles, the session provides ready-to-use AI tools, a clear resource document of additional platforms, and hands-on strategies for bringing fun and creativity back into teaching, all while keeping students engaged and supported.AI is more than a tool; it is a way to make instruction more accessible, engaging, and impactful for every student.
