As technology reshapes education, Arizona educators are embracing AI-driven tools to save time, personalize learning, and expand access to career-connected opportunities for every student. In this session, Pima JTED will share how their educators are integrating Magic School AI and My Future AZ to enhance career-connected learning, streamline teacher workflows, and expand equitable access for Arizona students. This session will explore how two education tools can work together to save teachers time while deepening student engagement in career exploration and employability skill development. Participants will see how Magic School AI can be used to create and customize My Future AZ-aligned activities such as career reflections, goal-setting prompts, resume writing, and ECAP documentation. Presenters will also demonstrate how My Future AZ, which will also be featured as an exhibitor at the conference, connects students to Arizona-specific career pathways, labor market data, and postsecondary opportunities, making it easier for teachers to meet state requirements while supporting personalized student journeys.
