Association for Middle Level Education Annual Conference 2024

This session emphasizes the crucial importance of developing lower-order skills in middle school students first. Attendees will learn why a strong foundation in remembering, understanding, and applying is still essential for success in an AI-driven world. Strategies for mastering these skills and progressing through Bloom’s Taxonomy will be explored, especially how teachers might use AI to strengthen those skills before students become too reliant on technology to perform for them.
