Nonprofit Invited By Building Hope To Speak
On Empowering Students with GenAI Innovation
NORTHRIDGE, Calif., April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thinking Nation, a
national 501(c)(3) committed to cultivating thoughtful citizens
through the promotion of historical thinking in social studies,
today announced that the organization has been invited by Building
Hope, the non-profit leader in charter school facilities,
financing, and services, to lead the session "Empower Students with
GenAI Innovation" at the third annual Building Hope IMPACT Summit.
The summit will bring together education leaders and changemakers
from across the nation to explore solutions for charter
school-specific and national educational problems.
"Thinking Nation's proactive approach to leveraging AI to
enhance the feedback and student experience is well-researched,
effective, and innovative," said Building Hope Chief Impact Officer
and Chair of the IMPACT Selection Committee Sherilyn Moore. "We are excited to have them
join us to bring their expertise to our IMPACT summit on the Future
of Education!"
Thinking Nation's Chief Partnership Officer Elizabeth Connolly and Chief Operations Officer
Spenser Mix are the featured
speakers at the session, which will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 2 p.m. ET. The session promises to be a highlight
of the summit, offering attendees invaluable perspectives on how
Thinking Nation is leveraging AI to scale and achieve its mission
to shift the paradigm of social studies education and cultivate
thinking citizens.
"Generative AI has further enhanced our ability to deliver a
rigorous, inquiry-based curriculum. AI grading norms unbiased
results, providing teachers with immediate and accurate data, and
students with more timely and comprehensive feedback," said
Thinking Nation Chief Operating Officer Spenser Mix.
Thinking Nation has earned acclaim for its recently released
study "A Second-Class Subject? Why Social Studies Gets Short
Shrift" which shares data that demonstrates social studies learning
matters, with teachers and administrators wanting more emphasis
placed on social studies education. Earlier this month, the
organization unveiled a platform designed to transform and bring
equity to Advanced Placement exam preparation by using generative
AI to provide instant and precise data to students and teachers
during the crucial period leading up to the official exams.
The Building Hope IMPACT Summit provides a unique opportunity
for charter school leaders to connect, collaborate, and co-create
solutions that address the most pressing challenges in public
Kindergarten through 12th grade education in the U.S. Through
thought-provoking presentations, interactive workshops, and
networking opportunities, the summit aims to inspire and empower
attendees to create positive change through quality, accessible
education.
"The IMPACT Initiative serves as a magnificent catalyst of
support and recognition for well deserving small charter
organizations who are truly the backbone of the school choice
movement," said Thinking Nation Board Member and Richard Wright
Schools Founder and CEO Dr. Marco
Clark.
