If you are an educational leader working with students in 4-12th grade and are interested in bringing AI into your teaching—especially for writing instruction—we invite you to join our AI Explorers Community of Practice (CoP). This paid initiative offers hands-on opportunities to explore tools like Clara, an AI writing assistant from Write the World that helps students brainstorm ideas, organize their thoughts, and revise their work while keeping their authentic voice. You’ll collaborate with peers, try out AI for activities like guided peer feedback, audience analysis, and research organization, and share your insights with schools across the county. No prior AI experience is required.

This event is open to select schools in Madera Unified (Adams, Parkwood, & Rose) Guiding Coalition teams and Yosemite Unified schools and to those district leaders.
