Webinar
AI & Education, Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning Video
April 2026 | Samuel D. Proctor Institute for Leadership, Equity, and Justice at Rutgers University
This ~90-minute webinar from the Samuel D. Proctor Institute for Leadership, Equity, and Justice explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can function as a teaching tool alongside culturally responsive and social-emotional approaches. Drawing upon their coauthored book, Leveraging AI for Human-Centered Learning, the speakers identify creativity, reflection, and dialogue as central to a human-centered approach to AI use, while also addressing ethical and academic considerations. They share examples of experimenting with AI tools and critically examining their outputs, including questioning whose knowledge is represented and what biases may be present, and highlight the importance of intergenerational dialogue between students and adults.
