Bowling Green, KY – Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College (SKYCTC) will host a free professional development workshop for area educators titled “Implications of Artificial Intelligence for Educators” in-person on Friday, February 6, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. CST. and virtually on February 13, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The workshop is designed to equip faculty, staff, counselors, and advisors with the knowledge and practical tools needed to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into teaching, advising, and curriculum development. Participants will explore lesson planning, interactive content creation, dynamic assessments, and ethical considerations surrounding AI use in education.

Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, attendees will learn how AI can enhance student engagement, streamline instructional and administrative tasks, and help prepare students for an increasingly AI-driven workforce. The session also prepares participants for the Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals Certification exam (exam cost not included).

Workshop topics include:

  • AI in Action: Using AI to improve decision-making, problem-solving, and data analysis
  • Interactive Applications: Hands-on AI activities for classroom and administrative use
  • Ethics and Challenges: Addressing misinformation, deepfakes, and privacy concerns
  • AI Tools: Designing adaptive assessments, course bots, and virtual assistants
    Curriculum Integration: Embedding AI into lesson plans to enhance learning outcomes
  • Future-Ready Students: Building critical thinking and AI skills for long-term success


Additional Information:

  • Attending only one of the two workshop days is strongly discouraged. The first day provides foundational content, followed by a second day focused on building AI-based artifacts.
  • Faculty participants are encouraged to bring syllabi and other classroom materials, which will be used during hands-on activities.
  • Lunch will be on your own.
  • Attendees will be required to complete a post-workshop survey, with a follow-up survey sent approximately six months later to share how the content has been applied.
