Re-Envisioning the Future: Interfacing with AI Inside the Classics Classroom and Beyond!
This Virtual recorded panel will bring together award-winning educational experts in incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technologies in secondary and college classrooms (in-person, remote, and asynchronous) with people who studied Classical Philology or Archaeology but now serve as executives in other fields and industries that employ or invest in AI and other technologies! Our panel will demonstrate the varied universe that AI and computer-based technologies can open up in the context of the Classics classroom and beyond, in the wider world of the varied career paths that people who study the ancient Mediterranean or global ancient studies will pursue in the 21st Century. Our panelists will explore and discuss practical classroom strategies for harnessing AI and other technologies to enhance the study of Classics and also explore and discuss various alternative career paths available to people who study Classics, paths that the panelists themselves both exemplify and envision in the future!
Our Crucial Role as Advocates: The Why and How of Personal and Collective Advocacy , with Perspectives from the National Committee for Latin and Greek.
Come, learn, and discuss ways we DO advocate and ways we can BETTER advocate and be more successful and proactive about strengthening and growing our programs. As experienced members of the National Committee for Latin and Greek and long-time advocates for Latin and Greek programming as well as advocates for providing equitable student access to world language education as a whole, we will strive to show what advocacy can look like, nationally and locally, and why broad advocacy is so important. Then we shall turn from national work to focus on attendees’ local situations as Classics teachers: personal experiences, school environments, and/or state governance. We shall explore the often urgent need for support for local programs and why it is important for every teacher to endeavor to create a public ‘face’ for their program and establish relationships that can be called upon during times of need or stress. We shall also direct attendees to some key advocacy resources available to them.
Live and on Zoom: Monday June 29 @1pm Eastern

ABOUT LANGUAGE EDUCATION SUPPORT !
SPEAK UP FOR THE VALUE OF LANGUAGES
"FOR EVERY STUDENT ~~ FOR EVERY STATE"
As a national legislative advocacy committee helping to represent many regional and national associations supporting Latin and Greek Studies and as a legacy member of the Joint National Committee on Languages, the National Committee for Latin and Greek pledges to support organizations in their work to end all forms of bias and discrimination and to increase access to quality language education for all students and colleagues. We work to increase access through legislative representation and funding, organizational advocacy for change within language education, and personal commitments to equity.
We continue to diligently review and revise resources featured on this site. We intend to make resources accurately present Latin and Greek as languages that are both valuable and accessible to all learners. We strongly urge our guests to check the site often and use only the most recent versions of resources. Please use care in choosing documents so that they are appropriate for your specific audience.
