KAST Insights: November 2026
Empowering Kentucky Educators Through Technology
KAST Learning Opportunities
KAST is partnering with Advanced Learning Partnerships (ALP) to offer TWO FREE professional development opportunities for school and district leaders:
AI Literacy Workshops will guide educational leaders from foundational AI exploration to actionable implementation by having them develop customized 30-to-60-day action plans and professional learning structures to responsibly integrate AI across their systems. (Register HERE)
ALP Leadership Labs will equip Kentucky educational administrators and teacher leaders with the skills to navigate AI, innovation, and organizational change through a focus on vibrant, project-based learning. (Register HERE)
Both ALP Cohorts will culminate at an in-person session at the KAST 2027 Spring Conference!
