FACULTY UPDATES
Dr. Donna Crouch presented at the National Association for Career & Technical Education Information (NACTEI) Conference in Minneapolis, MN, on April 29. Approximately 90 participants from across the United States attended the session.
Dr. Crouch’s presentation, “AI in CTE: Prompt-Driven Lesson Design That Is Safe, Ethical, and Immediately Usable,” focused on practical ways career and technical education teachers, teacher educators, and program leaders can use artificial intelligence to strengthen lesson planning while maintaining safety, ethics, rigor, and professional judgment.
During the session, Dr. Crouch provided attendees with a complete digital session packet that included sample lesson-planning prompts, a lesson design worksheet, an AI ethics toolkit, a one-page classroom AI policy sample, a student pledge, a family communication letter, a rubric and evidence tools, and a 30-60-90-day rollout guide for responsible classroom implementation. The session emphasized that AI can support lesson development, differentiation, work-based learning artifacts, formative assessment, and communication tools, but that educators must continue to review and revise all AI-generated materials for accuracy, appropriateness, accessibility, safety, and local fit.
