Thank you!
Hello, and welcome! I'm G.A. Buie, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to this exciting new initiative. Our goal is to help educational leaders like you harness the power of AI to improve efficiency, enhance decision-making, and support the success of your schools and districts. As AI becomes a larger part of our world, we want to provide our members with the tools and support needed to navigate these changes effectively, such as enhancing classroom efficiency, streamlining administrative tasks, and improving overall decision-making.

We've been building and testing a variety of AI bots. You can now access some of the AI bots we've developed. The bots assist with everyday tasks, such as responding to parent inquiries or preparing for a last minute professional development opportunity, or documentation of classroom observations, or looking up a relevant statute to help you address a situation.

Please keep in mind, these bots are version 1.0, and only available for a limited time. We encourage you to explore how these tools might support your schools and districts and please share your feedback with us so we can make improvements to the bots.

Use the links at the top of the page to try them out and see the overview pages for each of the courses we have released or are currently developing. With your feedback we look forward to introducing version 2.0 in the near future.

As you can see from the course overview pages, we have also been busy creating a series of self-paced courses, each of which includes a variety of learning objects such as; case studies, best practices, research and many other engaging imbedded elements.

Be sure to check back often—we'll be adding new features. We look forward to supporting you on this journey and seeing how we can leverage AI together to make a real difference.

Thanks for being here, and let's get started!
