ACTE's Region II Conference 2026

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes education and the workforce, Career and Technical Education (CTE) educators are uniquely positioned to lead the way in modeling ethical, responsible use. This interactive session explores the opportunities and challenges AI presents in CTE classrooms, with a focus on academic integrity, bias, privacy, and student skill development. Participants will engage in real-world scenarios, examine practical classroom applications, and develop strategies for teaching students to use AI as a tool for learning—not a shortcut for thinking. Attendees will leave with actionable guidelines, sample policies, and ready-to-use approaches that can be immediately implemented across diverse CTE pathways.
