Iterating with AI through Review, Reflect, Revise
Friday, February 6th | Student Center, 3rd Floor
Everyone is Welcome!
R3 Evolution is designed to welcome everyone in our educational community, regardless of your current relationship with AI. Whether you're curious, skeptical, experimenting, or experienced, your voice and perspective are essential to our collective learning. This summit celebrates the full spectrum of AI engagement, recognizing that both thoughtful adoption and informed non-adoption advance student success when grounded in pedagogical expertise.
We invite the entire Mt. San Antonio College community—faculty, staff, administrators, and students—along with our California Community College colleagues to join us for meaningful dialogue about AI's role in education.
Deadline for Submissions: December 1st
Submit ProposalRequired Focus Areas
All proposals must address at least ONE of the following two areas:
Equity & Culturally
Responsive Practice
How does your approach advance equitable outcomes while honoring students' cultural assets and implementing culturally sustaining pedagogical practices?
- Cultural Asset Recognition: How do you build upon and validate the diverse cultural knowledge, experiences, and strengths students bring to learning?
- Inclusive Design: How do you ensure AI integration (or non-adoption) reflects culturally sustaining practices that support diverse learning styles and backgrounds?
- Accessible Implementation: How do you ensure equitable access to AI literacy, tools, and support across all student populations?
Curriculum Integration
& Assessment Innovation
How does your approach transform curriculum and assessment practices while maintaining academic rigor and advancing measurable learning outcomes?
- Learning Outcomes Alignment: How do you ensure AI integration (or non-adoption) directly supports and enhances specific, measurable learning objectives within your discipline?
- Pedagogical Transformation: How does your work represent meaningful curriculum integration rather than surface-level technological enhancement, grounded in educational theory and best practices?
- Assessment Innovation: How do you adapt assessment strategies to maintain academic rigor while accommodating new ways students learn, create, and demonstrate competency?
- Evidence-Based Practice: How do you collect and analyze data to demonstrate your approach's effectiveness in advancing student learning and institutional goals?
- Workforce & Transfer Readiness: How does your curriculum integration prepare students for evolving academic and professional contexts where AI literacy is essential?
