Administrators and the West40 regional office provided professional learning on small-group instruction; district plans a Dec. 19 half-day focused on Artificial Intelligence tools (Google Gemini) to support lesson planning and assessment.
Komarek SD 94 administrators reported ongoing professional development on small-group instruction and scheduled dedicated staff training on artificial intelligence for Dec. 19.
Board member Willie Merrill said district leaders and West40 led a recent session on small-group instructional strategies and that the Dec. 19 half-day will focus on AI training. The minutes note staff will "explore AI through Google Gemini" to help with lesson planning, instructional practices, and student assessment; an introductory session was held Oct. 31.
