Revised Project Charter

The document outlines a professional development (PD) initiative titled “Empower Your Teaching with AI: From Understanding Learners to Designing Change,” created by Shutong Liu, Hassan Ahmed, Taylor Yao, and Katrina Kim under William Wisser’s supervision. The program aims to help in-service teachers integrate learning science, brain development, cultural context, and AI-enhanced instructional design through five Bloom’s-aligned modules. A key feature is an AI mentor chatbot that provides real-time, HPL-based teaching suggestions using case-referenced data. Participants will develop AI-assisted teaching plans or demos, integrate brain science insights, and build professional networks. The project scope includes designing modules, interactive tasks, and case databases but excludes large-scale coding or marketing. The team follows a detailed timeline from October to December 2025, with defined RACI roles emphasizing HPL alignment, case design, evaluation, and overall coherence. Success is measured by module completion, positive pilot feedback, and sustained engagement, with risks such as AI usability or time constraints mitigated through guided labs, flexible pacing, and peer incentives .
