GenAI is actively disrupting education and instruction, but this disruption provides us the opportunity to reflect on what we want our learning and teaching experiences to be and the transformations that need to happen to get us there.

These new professional learning sessions help educators harness GenAI to support rather than replace rich instruction and meaningful learning, anchoring guidance in evidence-based math instructional strategies that leverage collaborative learning, student sense-making, productive struggle, belonging, and connection.

Led by Lewis Hosie, Director of Development and Implementation for Carnegie Math Pathways, these sessions, which can be taken individually or all together, are designed to engage participants in discussing evidence-based instructional practices and learning models alongside an exploration of GenAI tools, use cases, and policy considerations through the following topics: 

Session 1: State of Affairs + GenAI Faculty Capacity Building

Friday, August 22, 2025, at noon – 1:30 PM PT / 3 PM – 4:30 PM ET
Session fee: $75

For educators new (or new-ish) to GenAI and/or those seeking a solid, no-hype foundation.

This session offers an essential introduction to GenAI with a clear-eyed view of what it is, what it isn’t, and what this means for math education. You’ll walk away with both technical grounding and strategic insight to begin thinking critically about how GenAI intersects with your teaching and institutional context.

We’ll explore:

  • How GenAI tools work (an accessible explanation of LLMs and their design)
  • Where GenAI tools succeed, and where they fail, in educational use cases
  • Using CIRCL practices to strengthen learning motivation, community, and connection
  • A snapshot of GenAI’s evolving role across higher education
  • Starting points for department or institution-level policy development, from Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) to faculty guidance

This workshop builds durable instructional and institutional awareness that avoids both fear-based reactions and premature adoption/integration of GenAI into math teaching and learning experiences. It’s the foundation for leading thoughtful, intentional change in math instruction in a GenAI world.

Session 2: Academic Integrity & Assessment Redesign Studio

Friday, September 12, 2025, at noon – 1:30 PM PT / 3 PM – 4:30 PM ET
Session fee: $75
Register Here

For all educators, especially those facing identified GenAI-related challenges with student work.

Concerned about students using GenAI tools like ChatGPT to bypass learning? You’re not alone. This workshop goes beyond simplistic prevention strategies and reframes academic integrity through the lens of belonging, purpose, and pedagogy, while exploring GenAI-resilient assessment redesign approaches.

What we’ll explore:

  • Why technology-based deterrents (like AI detectors) often fail
  • Short-term non-technological “time-buying” strategies that prevent misuse
  • Long-term creative adaptation; assignment and assessment redesign for GenAI-resilience
  • Using CIRCL practices to strengthen learning motivation, community, and connection
  • How to model responsible GenAI use, and when not to use it

This session emphasizes creative, student-centered approaches that promote authentic engagement and reduce the incentive to bypass learning. The goal isn’t just deterrence, it’s designing instruction and learning experiences that students want to participate in.

Session 3: GenAI + OER for Workforce-Aligned Math Curriculum Redesign

Friday, October 3, 2025, at noon – 1:30 PM PT / 3 PM – 4:30 PM ET
Session fee: $75
Register Here

For educators interested in exploring GenAI use in projects related to OER, curricular redesign, and/or workforce-aligned math pathways.

Interested in responsibly using GenAI to assist in the modification and enhancement curriculum and materials? This hands-on session will help you thoughtfully adapt OER math content, using the Quantway and Statway curricular packages as examples, while keeping pedagogy and instructional design front and center.

What we’ll explore:

  • Principles for GenAI-supported content modification
  • Risks and key considerations when using GenAI for content/context adaptation
  • Strategies for tailoring materials to specific learner needs, including those in workforce pathways programs
  • Opportunities for collaborative sense-making around how GenAI can support, not replace, thoughtful design work

This session focuses on using GenAI as a design/content developer assistant, not an automatic content generator. You’ll leave with strategies and considerations to leverage GenAI productively without compromising the integrity of robust instructional design.
