KickUp: How to Use AI to Elevate Instructional Leadership

News & Announcements
A Conversation for District Leaders

February 11, 2026 | 1:00 PM EST

AI tools are everywhere—but what does it actually look like for instructional leaders to use them well? In this session, we'll get specific about what AI fluency means for the leaders responsible for growing teaching practice. We'll talk about where AI can help, where it falls short, and how to achieve easy wins as you support your team in putting AI to work.

What You'll Learn
  • What AI fluency actually means for instructional leaders—and how to build it across your district
  • Where AI creates genuine efficiency gains, with examples from observation, feedback, and coaching workflows
  • Practical approaches for using AI to surface classroom wins, connect feedback to resources, and help teachers feel valued—not surveilled

Plus: Get an exclusive preview of KickUp's AI Scripting tool, designed to help instructional leaders move from observation notes to meaningful feedback.
