</strong><strong>Dr. Bill Daggett Webinar Series: Webinar #2 Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Public Education</strong>

In the year 2023, is it even possible to remember a time when people managed their lives without the aid of the Internet, Smart Phone, or electronic banking? In reality, digital and information technology (IT) has impacted society on a global level so much, so quickly that 30 years sometimes feels like a hundred. Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to have an even greater impact on how we live our daily lives, conduct our business, and communicate with others; and this will occur in a far shorter amount of time than IT did. What does this mean for education? How will AI affect what, how, and when (and why) we teach? In this second webinar or the series, Dr. Bill Daggett will provide specific examples of what schools can do to prepare for the major challenges and opportunities that AI will present.

</strong><strong>What the Data Says at the State Level When it Comes to Teacher Vacancy and Exits</strong>

Join this webinar to learn how the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is modernizing its agency data collection and structures around division vacancy reporting. Specifically, this presentation will examine existing data from the inaugural 2021-2022 administration of the fall position and Exit Collection (PEC) and End-of-Year (EOY PEC) results. The PEC report enables the commonwealth and school divisions to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to address critical staff shortages by position and geographic region, measure the growth and decline of required staffing levels, and evaluate the reasons licensed personnel leave the field. By leveraging this new data source and the Staffing and Vacancy Report Build-a-Table tool, the department has expanded its data collection capacity and increased the granularity of data available for analysis and functionality for stakeholders. The presentation will conclude with an introduction of the VDOE’s Strategic Plan for recruitment and retention informed by this and other state data.
