Leading With Intention: AI in K-12 (Hosted by CITE in partnership with PNW BOCES)
We are thrilled to share that Briarcliff Manor UFSD Superintendent Jim Kaishian, along with his staff and students, will be joining us on the Opening Mainstage Panel at Leading With Intention: AI in K-12 on July 30, and we want you in the room.
The panel is called “Riding the AI Roller Coaster With Briarcliff’s Supe, Staff, and Students” and it is exactly what it sounds like: a candid, on-the-ground account of what one district has actually lived as they have worked to get AI right for their community.
CITE has had the privilege of partnering with Briarcliff Manor UFSD and PNW BOCES on this work, supporting a community-informed listening process that brought together students, teachers, families, and administrators to shape a shared AI Learning Framework and Playbook. What Briarcliff has built is a model for how this work can and should be done across New York State.

The Briarcliff story is one we have watched unfold up close, and it reflects something we believe is true for every district in New York State right now. Here is what they found when they stopped debating AI in the abstract and started listening to their actual community:
– Students are more sophisticated than the rules we have given them
– Teachers are more curious and ready than the skeptics in the room would suggest
– Families are not afraid of AI, they are afraid of inconsistency
– Buildings are doing six different things and calling it policy
That listening process is now producing something real: a Community-Informed AI Learning Framework and Playbook, built from the voices of the Briarcliff community, grounded in who they say their graduates should be, and designed to give the district a shared language heading into September.
This summit is built for leaders who are making real decisions right now without the luxury of certainty. Sessions are hands-on, practical, and designed to move you from uncertainty to action.
Please register and bring members of your leadership team, including your Assistant Superintendents, Directors of Curriculum and Instruction, Building Principals, and anyone else helping your district think through AI right now. Please share this with your broader network as well. The work of getting AI right in our schools is not something any one of us should be doing alone, and the best conversations happen in rooms where superintendents, curriculum leaders, principals, and instructional coaches are honest with each other.
We hope to see you there.
