Artificial Intelligence

At the Riverside County Office of Education, we believe artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to transform learning when implemented thoughtfully, ethically, and with students’ best interests at heart. Our vision is for every student and educator to become not only AI literate, but also AI ready, understanding how AI works and being prepared to use it effectively in their roles to support learning in schools. We see AI as a tool to personalize learning, increase access to resources, spark creativity, and prepare students for a future in which AI will be a part of everyday life.

 

We are committed to supporting schools and educators as they navigate this rapidly evolving technology. Throughout the year, we offer a variety of events, workshops, and learning opportunities designed to help educators build confidence and competence in AI integration. These sessions address topics such as classroom applications, ethics and bias, digital literacy, and strategies for student engagement.

 

Our signature offering is the AI-Ready Educator course, a comprehensive learning experience designed to help educators develop the knowledge and skills needed to effectively and responsibly integrate AI into their teaching practice. This course, along with our other professional learning opportunities, reflects our belief that AI should empower educators to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in their students.

 

We invite you to explore what is possible with AI in education and to join us in shaping the future of learning. For a full list of upcoming events, workshops, and professional development opportunities, including our AI Ready, AI Literate series with Ken Shelton, please refer to the calendar at the bottom of this page. Whether you are just beginning your AI journey or looking to take your skills to the next level, we are here to support you every step of the way.
