Training & PD

Practical training for school and small-business teams

Workshops and recorded PD on using AI well, leading a small team and bringing new staff up to speed. Built from what I’ve done running an online school, not from a slide template.

Recorded PD

AI as a Learning Partner: A Practical PD for Teachers and School Staff (Part 1)

Leveraging AI as a Learning Partner, a professional development recording with Shahla Hockensmith

Help your team use AI to save time and deepen learning, safely and with confidence.

  • How to use AI as a thinking partner instead of an answer machine, for you and your students
  • Ready-to-use prompts for lesson planning, feedback and family communication
  • Guardrails for student privacy and a simple way to vet AI tools
  • How one online school put AI and automation into daily operations

For teachers, learning coaches, school leaders, and homeschool and microschool educators. Part 1 is about one hour and includes the recording, slides, the Prompt Starter Pack and a certificate of completion (check whether your school counts it toward PD hours). $79 per person, or $299 for a school or team license.

Early-buyer bonus: buy Part 1 now and get Part 2 free when it’s released in January 2027, covering differentiating curriculum, AI-assisted grading and feedback, and learning-plan documentation. After Part 2 is out, the two-part set will be $129 per person or $449 for a school license.

Secure checkout by Square. Right after you pay, you’ll get personal access to the video by email, plus a page with your slides and Starter Pack.
