    Join us on Tuesday, April 22nd, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM for an engaging webinar with the National Association of District Supervisors for Languages (NADSFL), featuring Lea Graner Kennedy. In this dynamic one-hour session, discover how AI can enhance world language curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Lea will introduce a variety of AI tools and customized GPTs specifically designed for World Language educators and department coordinators.

Participants will gain access to free tools, sample prompts, and practical strategies, along with opportunities to collaborate and brainstorm innovative ways to integrate AI into their programs.
