TAGT Gifted + Equity Conference 2024

The historic case for valuing education as a society revolves around the notion that knowledge is power. And the prioritized knowledge for those accessing this power has historically been knowing the “what” and the “how to.” But with the proliferation of artificial intelligence creating a present threat that almost any job capable of being reduced to an algorithm is at risk for automation, K-12 teaching and learning must shift its path. In this session, Colin Seale, educator, attorney, author of Thinking Like a Lawyer: A Framework for Teaching Critical Thinking to All Students and Tangible Equity: A Guide for Leveraging Student Identity, Culture, and Power to Unlock Excellence In and Beyond the Classroom, and thinkLaw Founder and CEO, will make the case for prioritizing a different kind of AI: Actual Intellect, as a key priority for today’s learners, and provide powerful, but practical tools educators can use to make critical thinking accessible to all students.
