Today's learners. Tomorrow's leaders. Empowering students with the skills, confidence, and technology to thrive in a changing world.

@FETC 2027 Library Leaders Featured Speakers Announcement Libraries are no longer just places to find information—they are the innovation hubs of our schools. That’s why I am thrilled to announce the FETC 2027 Library Leaders Featured Speakers! Joining us is Connie Ann Roussel, Literacy and Innovation Leader at Randolph Elementary School. Connie is redefining what literacy looks like in the digital age, blending reading, creativity, technology, and student engagement in ways that inspire both learners and educators. Her practical strategies and innovative mindset make her a powerful voice for today’s library leaders. We’re also excited to welcome Nicholas Moore, School Librarian and leader with the Georgia Library Media Association. Nicholas is a passionate advocate for student-centered libraries, digital citizenship, and empowering learners through meaningful technology integration. His energy, leadership, and commitment to elevating the profession continue to inspire librarians across the country. Together, these two outstanding educators will equip K-12 librarians and media specialists with fresh ideas, innovative practices, and actionable strategies to transform their libraries into thriving centers of learning. Join us at #FETC 2027 and learn from two true Library Leader Power Players! 📚🚀✨

Steps for Setting Up an Effective Google Classroom ncce.org/steps-for-sett…

Lance Key used to bounce around his classroom answering the same question 30 times. Now each student has an AI tutor. He gets a dashboard alert when someone's stuck. He walks over and has a real conversation. "Teachers aren't being minimized. Our roles are changing." Full segment: youtube.com/watch?v=vB-D_6…

1 in 5 students now use AI to do ALL their homework. Not to learn. To dodge it entirely. Priya Lakhani's TED talk makes the case for productive struggle: real learning takes effort, and effort is what AI keeps removing. Good AI makes kids think harder, not less. edsurge.com/news/2026-05-2…

Both groups of future teachers knew what AI was. Only one group could actually use it well. The variable: a 5-phase inquiry model called QUEST, from former NCCE Board Member David Wicks. New 10-week study. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"AI outputs the average." Figma CEO Dylan Field says models produce what's probable, not what's original. People who push past the first draft, who have voice and taste, are more valuable now. Same goes for teaching. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=d1q4L_…

Every student deserves access to engaging, innovative learning experiences. That's why NCCE is dedicated to equipping educators with the skills, technology, and support needed to create meaningful change in the classroom. Together, we're building a future where learning has no limits. Explore what's possible through the link in our bio.

Nobody wants to be the person in an AI PD session nodding along to acronyms they don't understand. The CIO of the University of Montana built a fix: alphabetsoup.ai. 916 terms in plain English. Open source. CC BY 4.0. Look one up and move on.
