The CTE is recognizing educators who completed the Teaching and Learning with Generative Artificial Intelligence webinar series during Fall 2025. The program supports educators as they develop practical strategies for integrating generative AI into teaching and learning.
The initiative is led by Gloria Washington, CTE instructional designer. The program focuses on building foundational understanding of generative AI while emphasizing instructional decision making, responsible use, and alignment with course goals.
Participants engage with a structured learning pathway that explores how generative AI can support active learning, assessment design, and student engagement across instructional contexts.
