Woodbury Heights, NJ

I’m heading to Woodbury Heights, NJ to present three sessions at the Gateway AI in EDU Summit — a free, one-day regional professional learning event where educators, leaders, and innovators come together to explore the intersection of deep learning and artificial intelligence in education.

This year’s summit builds on the success of 2025, which drew 275 educators from over 40 districts. Sessions are organized across four strands: Instructional Transformation; AI Ethics and Literacy; Promoting Human Thought in an AI-Enabled World; and Strategic Leadership for Sustainable Innovation.

I’ll be presenting three sessions throughout the day, all sponsored by Teacher Created Materials:

Session 1 — AI Literacy Isn’t Extra — It’s Core Breakout Round 1 · 9:55–11:00 AM · Room 106

Session 2 — Tired of Student AI Slop? Solve it with the Assessment Puzzle Breakout Round 2 · 11:10 AM–12:15 PM · Room 106

Session 3 — Model Lesson: Integrating AI Into Best Instructional Practices Breakout Round 3 · 1:55–3:00 PM · Room 106

If you’re in the New Jersey or Philadelphia area, this summit is completely free to attend. I’d love to see you there!
