EEAI–formerly EECS–is an opportunity for 100 administrators and educators to come together to explore critical AI. We will welcome old and new friends to EEAI, our favorite professors, and new national AI experts.
We hold (or host) recurring 90-minute sessions every Wednesday starting in late October 2025.
EEAI is for competitive K-12 educators ready to explore AI ethics, equity, and impact. As part of the EEAI program, fellows will have an opportunity to participate in EEAI Affinity groups, featuring Dr. Talley, Dr. Sealey Ruiz, Dr. Bishop and Dr. Michael, which are held monthly on Tuesdays starting in November. These monthly Tuesday sessions begin in November.
Future Ready educators, New York City Men Teach, schools and educators from a variety of programs in the Office of Student Pathways, and teachers from all NYCPS districts.
Committed educators who are willing to share their AI learnings with students and other schools. Participants must have full administrative approval.
articipating teacher fellows will develop a deeper understanding of the science of AI and communicate this knowledge to students:
How AI works
Limitations of AI
When to use AI
Ethics, equity, and impact of AI use
How to utilize rubrics for the use of AI
Additionally, EEIA Fellows will be featured as an EEIA classroom or school as part of the CITE (CUNY) showcase classrooms in SY 26-27. As part of this, EEIA Fellows will create turnkey lessons that can be shared with other educators (pre-service and in-service) to learn from their work.
In this foundations of CR-SE module, participants will achieve a working understanding of the core elements of developing a culturally-responsive and sustaining pedagogical environment in the CS classroom. Moreover, they will examine practical behavioral practices to assist in the training of pedagogues, students, and the development of curricular activities.
In this UDL in K-12 CS module, participants will gain an overview of Universal Design for Learning and other inclusive practices that support students with (dis)abilities in K-12 CS instruction. Participants will actively engage in both synchronous and asynchronous activities that include:
Collaboratively developing UDL-based instructional planning tool for their grade band
Developing or modifying one UDL-based lesson plan
Considering ways of applying/modifying a UDL-based coaching teacher protocol to their context
As CS for All rolls out in New York, educators want to know: How can I equitably teach bi/multilingual learners – students who speak more than one language and who are learning English– at school? In this module of activities and workshops, attendees will grapple with theories that center how bi/multilingual learners use language and communicate in the CS classroom. They will learn an approach to designing and/ or modifying CS units that invites and guides teachers to embed code and CS into conversations that their students – bi/ multilingual and otherwise – are already having. They will also consider how these theories and approaches shape their work supporting teachers in CS classrooms.
