Artificial Intelligence, Schools and the Law - Are You Prepared? (A TMI-LEGAL ONE Collaborative Workshop)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education. This seminar aims to explore the various applications of AI in the pre-K-12 setting, the legal duty of care that must be exercised as AI increasingly becomes part of the K-12 school experience and protocols that can ensure that districts properly address foreseeable legal issues.

This seminar will review potential applications for AI and the legal issues that arise from those applications, including, among others:

• students in the use of AI when completing assigned work; 
• teachers in preparing and delivering lesson plans; 
• school leaders in seeking to streamline administrative functions; and
• parents and community members in how they gather information and communicate with school officials.

While AI offers significant potential benefits for schools, the use of AI in education also raises concerns about privacy, security, academic integrity, implicit bias, and even the accuracy of information produced by AI. This seminar will delve into these legal and ethical considerations and explore ways to mitigate potential negative impacts while maximizing the benefits of AI in pre-K-12 schools.

Presenter(s): David Nash, Esq., LEGAL ONE Director of Legal Education and National Outreach; Joseph Ventre, TMI-LEGAL ONE Consultant

Date/Times: December 7, 2023; 9am-1pm (EST)

The TMI Education-LEGAL ONE Professional Learning Partnership

Since its inception in 1999, TMI Education has been a proud and privileged partner of the New Jersey Principals and Supervisors Association (NJPSA) and the Foundation for Educational Administration, Inc. (FEA), the professional learning division of the NJPSA. Throughout this over 20-year partnership, TMI has collaborated with NJPSA/FEA on countless workshops, in-district programs, and local, regional and state-level initiatives.

Among these many outstanding NJPSA/FEA programs is LEGAL ONE. Under the direction of David Nash, Esq., LEGAL ONE continues to be the leading provider of education law workshops, online courses, webinars and in-district programs for school leaders and teachers on critical legal issues. "It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce LEGAL ONE as the exclusive partner and provider of sustained education law professional learning and training for our members and constituents," explains Dr. Brian P. Chinni, TMI Education CEO/Founder.

TMI-LEGAL ONE Partnership offerings are a great way to satisfy New Jersey professional development requirements for teachers, school leaders and other school employees!

Video-Recorded Virtual (Zoom) Sessions and Tips to Maintain your Privacy during a Recorded Session:  As an added value, all virtually-delivered programs are video recorded and accessible to our workshop registrants and Professional Learning Consortium Members subsequent to the session. Therefore, each virtually-delivered workshop and webinar will now have Zoom’s Recording Disclaimer enabled by default. With this feature, attendees will receive a notification when a recording starts or if they join a session that is already being recorded. The participant can then consent to stay in the session and be recorded or choose to leave the session altogether.

Tips to Maintain your Privacy during a Virtually-Delivered Session: Actively engaging in Zoom sessions is important. Participants may have concerns, however, of a Zoom session recording capturing their participation. Meeting hosts or instructors are taking steps to minimize this concern. In addition to the consent, participants can also use the following steps and features to take control of what is shared when a session is being recorded.

• Change your participant name displayed in Zoom (e.g. only use your first name, replace your name)
• Disable your video
• Mute your audio
• Do not communicate via the chat feature
• Do not upload an identifiable profile photo

Please refer to Zoom’s Attendee Controls for more information on how to use these features.
