October Live Lab: Creating Authentic Assessment in the AI Era
Anyone else finding that traditional assessments no longer measure what you actually care about—student thinking, growth, and understanding? Do you need assessments that capture learning in ways AI can’t replicate, but redesigning everything feels impossible?
If AI can pass your assessment, you’re not measuring what matters.
In our final Live Lab, we will redesign one assessment to capture actual student thinking in ways AI can’t fake. Sign up and finally assess what you care about—not just what’s easy to grade.

What are CALIE Live Labs?
CALIE Live Labs is not just another PD opportunity—it’s a paradigm shift in how educators can learn and grow.
If you’re tired of:
- Professional development that feels like wasted time
- Knowing about tools but never feeling confident enough to use them
- Innovating alone without support or recognition
- Learning that doesn’t connect to your classroom or campus
Then Live Labs is built for you.
You’ll create real resources, connect with real educators, receive real recognition, and walk away with real confidence. And you’ll do it in a way that actually fits into your life, not another obligation that drains you, but an experience that energizes and empowers you.
CALIE Live Labs are for educators at any grade level or role who want practical, collaborative support solving real classroom and school challenges.
No prior experience with specific tools is required—Live Labs focus on adaptable strategies that work across classrooms, roles, and contexts.
