An unnamed teacher at a Yuma Union High School District meeting said peer-led professional development, along with a professional development course on artificial intelligence, is helping classroom practice and student feedback. "PD means to me, I'm learning from our colleagues. They're the experts on the classroom, so they're sharing, like, their real life experience and helping us to improve," the teacher said.

The teacher described participating in a training course on AI, saying, "I'm actually right now, in a PDE about AI. I think it is a great tool that we need to learn how to use it. It expands everything that we need as a teacher. It helps us, like, create assessment. What I like the most, it helps us do feedback in our students, and that's what they need." The speaker urged colleagues to maintain a positive approach to the work: "Only say 1 word to my, fellow teachers, it would be love. Love what you do. Love the people that you're around."

The remarks focused on classroom practice rather than on district policy or formal actions; the transcript shows no motion or vote tied to the comments. The teacher framed professional development (PD) as peer-driven and described AI training (referred to in the remarks as "a PDE about AI") as a tool for generating assessments and supporting student feedback. The speaker did not provide details about the AI program's vendor, curriculum, funding source, or whether the PD is district-mandated or voluntary.

No formal direction or decision followed in the provided transcript excerpt. The comments appeared as part of public input or staff remarks (transcript context not specified) and were presented as personal experience and encouragement rather than as a proposal for action.
