ChatGPT has been part of the public consciousness for only a little more than a year. But in some places, it is already transforming students’ writing experiences, helping teachers create lesson plans and quizzes more efficiently, and prompting educators’ to rethink what skills students will need for future jobs. Elsewhere—and sometimes as close by as the classroom down the hall—educators are banning the tool outright or asking students to complete assignments in paper and pencil to avoid cheating. And in some cases, it is unclear what district leaders want. More than three-quarters—79 percent—of educators say their districts still do not have clear policies on the use of artificial intelligence tools, according to an EdWeek Research Center survey of 924 educators conducted in November and December. This webinar will explore those questions, offering practical tips from educators and experts on how to approach this rapidly evolving technology while remaining mindful of core principles such as student privacy and academic honesty.

Since 2023, legislators across 28 U.S. states and in Congress have introduced 81 bills restricting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs at colleges and universities, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education’s DEI Legislation Tracker. To report on this trend and its consequences, journalists need to understand the history of diversity initiatives, common myths about DEI today and the latest research showing what works — and doesn’t work — for creating equal opportunity and better outcomes among students, faculty and staff, and college campuses as a whole. In this one-hour webinar, you will learn: – A brief history of diversity policies and initiatives. – The goals of DEI in higher education. – Policies and practices that research demonstrates are effective in helping schools reach DEI goals. – Today’s most prevalent myths about DEI. Researchers also will share: – The most important questions journalists should be asking. – Tips and tools for strengthening news coverage. This free webinar is open to everyone and hosted by The Journalist’s Resource and the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability (IARA) Project at the Harvard Kennedy School.
