How many times have you wanted a personal guide to parenting?
The First Academy created Parent University to help our families navigate the journey of parenthood.
Parent University provides courses to empower and equip parents with resources to raise children as Christian leaders. We invite you to join us as we grow and learn together from special speakers and group sessions.
Navigating Artificial Intelligence with Will Zavala, Director of Technology
Friday, September 12
Parent Association Meeting | 8:15 am – 9 am | Whitaker Auditorium
Parent University | 9 am – 10 am | Whitaker Auditorium
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—from your child’s YouTube recommendations to classroom tools—but what does it really mean for their learning and the future? Join us as we demystify AI with a simple, parent-friendly explanation and explore how it impacts academics, ethics, and everyday life. Learn how to guide your child in using AI responsibly, foster critical thinking and creativity, and understand the opportunities and challenges AI brings to education. This session will also share TFA’s thoughtful approach to AI in the classroom and give parents practical takeaways for conversations at home.
