Earlier this year, the Educating All Learners Alliance, in collaboration with AI for Education, released a 4-part webinar series on AI and Special Education. You can watch the recordings of the interactive webinars below. The webinars are 60 minutes long, with 30 minutes of learning, 20 minutes of practice, and 10 minutes of questions. Each webinar includes a resource companion guide.

Why this is important now

AI for Education’s mission is to make it easy for educators to apply AI into their practice to improve student outcomes and prepare students for the future while allowing teachers to focus on what matters: teaching. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize teaching and learning as we know it. By using AI-powered tools and strategies, educators can personalize learning, improve student outcomes, and better prepare students for success in the digital age.
