Vita-Learn: Join us for a thoughtful conversation with Mike Berry.

AI in the Vermont PK-12 Landscape On February 4, 2026, the IT Leadership Monthly Call featured a deep-dive session with Mike Berry, Director of Curriculum and Technology and representative of the Vermont Higher Education Collaborative. As Technology Directors sit at the heart of the AI conversation, Mike provided a strategic "dual-track" look at how artificial intelligence is currently being integrated into Vermont schools. In this recording, Mike bridges the gap between high-level governance and daily technical practice. Key highlights include: The Technical Practitioner: Learn how Mike’s district uses Gemini Gems and NotebookLM to automate departmental workflows, such as organizing Danielson observation notes, analyzing master schedules, and synthesizing complex master agreements. The Systems Leader: Mike shares his framework for AI governance, including how to vet vendors for FERPA compliance, address the environmental impact of data centers, and navigate the moral considerations of different AI platforms. Data-Driven Narratives: Discover how to turn raw district data—like GoGuardian screen time reports—into actionable narratives that improve principal feedback and classroom engagement. Implementation Strategy: Mike outlines a "go slow to go fast" roadmap, prioritizing infrastructure and teacher professional development before rolling out student-facing AI experiences. Whether you are looking to build a personal productivity toolkit or establish a robust privacy framework for your district, this session offers a real-world look at navigating the intersection of AI, education, and security.
