While most school districts are still waiting for the right framework to "roll out" AI, Clovis Unified School District in California built one. In this candid, 60-minute conversation, friEdTech founder Amy Mayer sits down with Joe Marquez, Director of Academic Innovation at Clovis Unified, to unpack how his district designed and launched what California's Department of Education has recognized as a model AI professional development program.

Joe will share the frameworks, tools, policies, and mindset shifts that have transformed how Clovis teachers think about and use AI in the classroom, including why saving time is the wrong reason to use AI, how "laundering the output" changed teacher practice, and what it actually takes to begin moving a district from skeptical to skilled.

This is an honest conversation about what works, what does not, and what decision-makers need to know before they spend another dollar on AI training that does not stick.
