Learning Objectives

Essential Question: As educators, how might we combine generative AI with research-backed learning frameworks to move from techno-centric to a more human-centered learning experience with students?

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply human-centered learning theories, such as those proposed by Dewey, Vygotsky, and Freire, in the development of lesson plans that emphasize empathy, critical thinking, collaboration, social responsibility, and social change.
• Utilize the principles of the P6 Lesson Design Stack to create dynamic, inspiring, and empowering learning experiences that consider developmental levels, content standards, desired traits and skills, human-centered activities, technology integration, personalization, and performance assessment.
• Prioritize pedagogy over technology, learning to make informed decisions about when and how to integrate technology to enhance student engagement, collaboration, and understanding, while maintaining alignment with human-centered educational goals and effective teaching strategies.
• Adapt teaching strategies and lesson plans to address the needs of diverse learners by making appropriate modifications, accommodations, and differentiations.
