CALD-AI Workshop and AI Symposium

CLL hosted its spring symposium, AI for Learner Agency and Self-discovery: Insights and Inspiration from Research and Impact Partnerships. The invited speakers and panel, comprised of CLL researchers, practitioners from Anaheim Unified School District, and industry partners from Roadtrip Nation, joined in dynamic presentations on their interconnected work, and a panel discussion highlighting the CLL’s core commitments to being learner-driven, asset-based, and fostering research-practice partnerships. The focus was on exploring how generative AI can provide support for educational approaches driven by young people’s unique strengths, and supporting self-discovery and self-understanding.
