The new Indiana diploma brings exciting opportunities but also complex systems to manage. Discover how AI can support Early College leaders by helping design smarter four-year planning tools, streamline program workflows, and simplify pathway advising for students and families. This session will highlight practical examples and emerging strategies that can help schools implement diploma changes with greater efficiency and impact.

The rise of generative AI has sparked concerns about academic integrity in K-12 education. In this interactive session, participants will face the challenge of completing a task using AI tools while attempting to outsmart cheating detection programs. This hands-on simulation will provide a unique opportunity to explore the capabilities of AI tools and open up practical conversations about the fears, challenges, and opportunities of using AI in the classroom. Whether you’re skeptical or excited about AI’s role in schools, this session will challenge your thinking and inspire new ideas.

Dual credit teachers across various disciplines are increasingly focused on managing AI-driven academic dishonesty. While timed writing within locked Google Forms effectively mitigates cheating, these exercises also provide essential college preparation by training students to express themselves rapidly and articulately. In this session, learn to configure locked Google Forms, implement student preparation templates, and use a highlighting technique that simplifies grading while fostering student reflection. Explore a student-led progress tracker for "re-works," an iterative process that allows students to refine their original writing and improve their scores prior to final evaluation.
