A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

An investment that the school district can make in a school system is to ensure that teachers are continually learning. As a professional the process of continuous learning is imperative with the changing technology. On my campus the need for professional development that addresses technology is in both district and campus improvement plans. The district’s curriculum and instruction department are aware of the advantages for using technology in the instructional settings and have incorporated technology and tools into the current curriculum guides for all grade levels. Learning how to use technology in an effective way that helps enhance education is up to the teachers and one way to do this is to support them with curriculum resources that meet their various needs. It is also a good way to meet diverse needs of classroom learners. Professional development should help deepen and broaden the knowledge of content and will include new ways to teach. This will lead to a higher academic achievement by students therefore increasing scores across the board. Teachers and staff will be provided with staff developments to learn new technology to enhance teaching practices. They must apply what they have learned with thought out lessons throughout the school year. The increased use of technology will serve as an accelerator for learning in all content areas. Providing students with the different learner experiences through research-based instructional programs will build strong relationships among teachers and students. OVERALL GOAL: Provide district-wide staff development to ensure efficient and effective use of technologies. STRATEGIES & NEEDS: The district will provide educators with the tools to provide instruction using available technologies. Professional development opportunities will be available to teachers on integrating Technology TEKS into content areas. Federal, state and local area training opportunities available teachers to attend. Content related professional development which will include: technology for teachers based on their needs. PD that is aligned with SBEC’s technology application standards for teachers and ISTE’s standard. All newly hired teachers and staff will be provided technology professional developments. Technology will be modeled during campus staff meetings and development. ACADEMC STUDENT GOAL: Promote integration of technology instruction and curriculum to impact student learning and achievement. Lead teachers will work to present during PD to promote the integration of technology and literacy to achieve critical thinking skills. Increased use of library and media resources to expand and enrich the learning opportunities for students. Continue planning for technology into all Campus and District Improvement Plans. Usage of electronic instructional resources will be monitored and evaluated. Assistive technologies and adaptive technologies will be provided for students that require these products. EVALUATION / ASSESSMENT Assessment on the effective use of technology in the classroom and the impact it has on student learning is an area of need. “Evidence of Completion/Formative Evaluations” consisted of classroom observations, lesson plans, sign-in sheets, agendas and monthly discussions at principals’ meetings (district). None of these are true assessments. The data that is collected does not provide any useful information in determining the needs. The evaluation of technology use and the district plan should be an on-going systematic process. The technology plan should be evaluated once a year with a review of the plan during mid-year. Adjustments to the plan should be documented at the mid-year review. The individual goals and objectives should be evaluated by technology members during monthly meetings. A thorough evaluation of the data collected will impact the teacher’s professional development and student learning. Campuses should make sure that teachers complete the STaR Charts and the results should be analyzed to make adjustments to their individual plans. The results should function as areas of need on the Campus Improvement Plans for the upcoming year. This will help to develop a more useful staff development which in turn leads to improved student learning and achievement. The analyzing of the STaR Chart data also aids in determining the progress of the district and state’s Technology Plan as well. Forms of evaluation methods include, but are not limited to: Annual surveys and needs assessment of both instructional and non-instructional staff Annual interview of campus staff Records of participation such as certificates from trainings, etc. Survey and feedback to plan for future staff development opportunities Monitor and document profession of staff on using and implementing technologies Monitor the following: internet usage, digital and on-line resources, student performance of the use of technologies](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/week4-091213181140-phpapp02/85/Action-Plan-in-Action-1-320.jpg)
