This engaging webinar introduces the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS) as a practical and ethical framework for using Generative AI tools in adult education classrooms. This session connects the five progressive levels of the AIAS with Bloom’s Taxonomy Revisited (2024) to help teachers intentionally design tasks that strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity among adult learners.  Participants will explore how the AI Assessment Scale moves instruction beyond “AI avoidance” to “AI awareness,” empowering students to engage responsibly in idea generation, editing, and evaluation. Using classroom-ready examples for ABE, GED, and ESOL contexts, this session demonstrates how to integrate AI tools that raise rigor, enhance language development, and maintain academic integrity.  ducators will leave with a clear understanding of how to align GenAI integration to Florida’s standards, promote learning opportunities, and apply higher-order thinking skills that prepare adult learners for college, career, and civic success.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the five levels of the AI Assessment Scale and explain their relevance in ABE, GED, and ESOL classrooms.
• Apply the AI Assessment Scale to design or adapt classroom activities and assessments that build academic integrity and digital literacy.
• Connect AI-supported tasks to the higher-order levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (analyze, evaluate, create).
• Model ethical and responsible AI use that supports language acquisition and cognitive rigor.
• Develop one classroom activity or rubric aligned to both the AI Assessment Scale and Bloom’s higher-level thinking.
