Protocols for professional conversations using AI in ITE: comparing lesson plans, planning a unit of learning, designing differentiated resources, exploring school policies in practice
The purpose of these protocols is to assist student teachers and cooperating teachers in schools to have professional conversations together during regular tutorial meetings. Each document requires the use of GenAI but can generate insights or interactions that would be difficult to emulate in paired discussion.
