Leaders Circle - Bismarck, ND: Leveraging AI for Empowering Authentic Learning

Dr_Ben_Johnson — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 21:18:27 GMT

Learn how Bismarck Public Schools (BPS) is working to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a strategic partner to facilitate truly personalized and authentic learning experiences, moving beyond the traditional "factory model" that often stifles human qualities like creativity, empathy, critical thinking, and adaptability. Through enhancing of the proven Empower[Ed] model —a personalized, competency-based education program where students progress based on mastery and engage in real-world, community-embedded projects—we are working to make personalized authentic learning available to all BPS students.This requires embedding design thinking principles (Project Design, Project Implementation, and Project Delivery) as a core method and mindset across the district, ensuring that technology serves to enhance human capabilities and relationships, not replace them. The objective is to prepare every learner and educator with an "AI-mindset" that embraces AI as a collaborator, fosters learner agency, and directly connects education to future-ready careers. We desire to equip our BPS system to collaboratively design with AI to offer personalized and authentic learning models that cultivate each student’s unique human qualities, student agency, and real-world applicability of skills. #GoogleForEducation, #EdLeadership, #AIinEducation, #FutureReady, #Innovation, #SchoolLeadership
