55th Annual JCCASAC Conference

"In this session, attendees will explore the powerful synergy between educational frameworks such as Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Restorative Practices (RP) and cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. By integrating these approaches, educators can create more inclusive, compassionate, and effective learning environments that support the diverse needs of all students, including those with disabilities.

Participants will gain valuable insights into implementing SEL, UDL, and RP strategies while leveraging AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and Magic School to personalize learning, streamline administrative tasks, and develop accommodations, intervention strategies, and individualized goals. These tools and frameworks empower educators to focus on what matters most—student success.

Through hands-on exploration and resources provided during the presentation, attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge, digital tools, and skills necessary to seamlessly integrate these initiatives into their curriculum. Together, we will also discuss the challenges and opportunities of implementing these innovations responsibly, ensuring equity, accessibility, privacy, and social-emotional growth for every learner.

By the end of this session, participants will be inspired to revolutionize their instructional practices, fostering collaborative, inclusive, and supportive learning environments that drive academic success and holistic development."
