Tessellations at the NAIS Symposium on AI & the Future of Learning. This week, members of our leadership team—Head of School Luthern Williams, Associate Head of School Bec Bradley, and History Department Chair Mary Hansell, who leads Tessie’s AI Task Force—joined educators from across the country to explore how AI is shaping the next chapter of teaching and learning.

Grounded in Tessellations’ mission and our commitment to whole-learner development, our team is engaging deeply with questions around how emerging technologies can support the work we value most: curiosity, depth, creativity, and human connection.

Across the symposium, three major focus areas guided the conversations:
• Ethical Innovation & Inclusive Design. Exploring AI literacy, equitable access, neurodivergence and accommodations, security and safety, and the role of inclusive design in building healthy learning communities.
• Future-Ready Workforce & Adaptable Organizations. Discussing how to prepare students for emerging workforce skills and agentic AI; trends in higher education that influence K–12; and how schools can remain agile in times of rapid change.
• Empowering Learning Through Technology. Examining AI basics for educators, curricular frameworks for “humans vs. bots,” strategies for engagement and enrichment, and effective models for ongoing professional learning.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this national conversation and to bring back insights that strengthen our work here at Tessellations.

Tessellations Head of School Invited to Introduce Closing Keynote at NAIS AI Symposium

We are pleased to share that our Head of School, Luthern Williams, has been invited by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) to introduce the closing keynote speaker at their AI Symposium on Friday, December 5.

Luthern was selected for this role in recognition of his thoughtful leadership in education. The closing keynote, delivered by Charles Fadel, Founder and Chairman of the Center for Curriculum Redesign, will address Education for the Age of AI—a topic central to the national conversation on the future of education, teaching, and learning.

In his introduction, Luthern will share the work Tessellations has undertaken this year, including the formation of our AI Task Force and our collaboration with parents who are global leaders in AI and robotics, as well as our commitment to integrating AI ethically and responsibly in ways that elevate—not replace—the human skills essential to 21st-century learning: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

We are proud to see Tessellations represented at a national level and look forward to sharing reflections from the symposium.

Join us at Tessellations’ Open House!
