Upcoming In-Person Events

While many of our AI Academy courses will be available online and open to all AFT members, select in-person trainings are currently hosted at the UFT headquarters in New York City or in partnership with AFT state affiliates in locations. These in-person sessions are primarily intended for local members in those areas. If you're a member from outside the hosting location and wish to attend, you're welcome to join—however, please note that at this time travel and lodging are not covered and would be at your own expense.

The National Academy for AI Instruction courses are eligible for continuing education credit and professional development points. Each webinar is typically worth between 1 and 1.5 credits. We recommend you check with your school, district or state department of education prior to attending the webinar to see if they will honor the credit. Otherwise, you will receive a certificate of completion after participating in each webinar that you can submit to your school or district for their approval.
