Love Flint? Become a Flint Innovative Educator (FIE).
What it is
The Flint Innovative Educator (FIE) program, launched in Fall 2024, recognizes educators who are using Flint to transform their teaching practice.
One of Flint's founding principles is that AI should let educators offer radically personalized instruction to every student. The FIE program celebrates the teachers who are making that real, and shares their stories with educators who are just getting started.
How to apply
The application is short. Tell us the grade levels and subjects you teach, and write a testimonial of at least 100 words covering:
How have you used Flint to improve personalization in your classroom? How have your students used AI to learn more effectively? What can other educators learn from your experience as they bring AI into teaching and learning at their own schools?
The application is a Google Form, so you'll need to be signed in to a Google account to open it.
Within five business days of applying, the Flint team will let you know whether you've been selected. If you have, you'll receive a certificate you can add to your portfolio or LinkedIn profile, and a badge for your email signature.
