Instructional Design Lab
Help your leadership and content teams design lessons that keep authentic student learning at the center—whether your school is integrating AI or not.
The LXD Studio’s Instructional Design Lab: Designing Lessons That Make Student Thinking Visible (With or Without AI) is an interactive work session built for content teams, instructional coaches, and leadership teams. This lab tackles the challenge of maintaining classroom rigor in a tech-rich environment, giving your staff actionable strategies to ensure students do the heavy cognitive lifting.
Participants explore two core pathways based on school needs:
For AI-Integrated Classrooms: Learn how to structure AI intentionally so student thinking remains central rather than outsourced.
For AI-Free Classrooms: Learn how to design high-rigor tasks where thinking and reasoning cannot be automated.
Your team will walk away with:
Classroom-Ready Content: Redesigned lessons and a Student Thinking Framework for consistent expectations.
Clear Action Strategies: Defined guidelines for high-rigor technology and AI use (or non-use).
Ongoing Support: A Leader Summary Report with actionable next steps and a 4-week virtual check-in to ensure successful implementation.
Bring the Instructional Design Lab to your team and ensure students are doing the thinking—every time.
Helping schools with clarity, consistency, and instructional integrity in the age of technology and AI.
