The INstructional Strategies for Partnership, Innovation, Resources and Engagement, or INSPIRE, Awards align with our Fulton Schools value of Foster a Community of Learning and Collaboration and recognizes faculty members who embrace this value through curricular and co-curricular activities that promote student learning, professional development and professional practice.
This year’s INSPIRE theme of AI-Enhanced Teaching and Learning signifies that awardees are those who create environments where students and Fulton Schools community members come together to share knowledge about AI, develop AI skills and leverage AI-supported tools and resources in support of learning and/or professional growth.
The award is administered by the Fulton Schools Quality of Instruction committee, and awardees are selected in two categories: curricular and co-curricular activities, and leadership and community building.
Congratulations to Nadia Kellam and Jason Bronowitz, who jointly received the INSPIRE Award for their leadership in advancing AI-enhanced teaching and learning in The Polytechnic School!
Nadia Kellam, a professor, associate director for strategic initiatives and undergraduate engineering program chair and Jason Bronowitz, an associate teaching professor and the associate director for academic excellence are co-awardees of the inaugural INSPIRE Award in the category of leadership and community building.
Through their AI fika gatherings, Nadia and Jason have created a collaborative community where faculty, staff and graduate students can explore AI tools, exchange classroom experiences and learn from one another. Their efforts are helping educators thoughtfully integrate AI into courses, develop new learning approaches and build confidence using emerging technologies.
Their work demonstrates that meaningful AI integration goes beyond adopting new tools. It’s about creating a culture of curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration and responsible innovation across the learning community.
🎉Congratulations, Nadia and Jason!
