Martin Brossman Highlights Practical AI Strategies for Educators at Eastern NC Future Forum

RALEIGH, N.C. - April 7, 2026 - PRLog -- Martin Brossman, professional development educator and founder of Martin Brossman and Associates LLC, delivered a well-received breakout session titled Enhancing Course Instruction Through AI Tools at the 2026 Eastern NC Future Forum, held March 30–31 at the Riverfront Convention Center of Craven County in New Bern, North Carolina.

Presented during the Forum's Tuesday morning programming, the session gave educators and administrators from across the region an applied and practical look at how artificial intelligence can support assessment design, student engagement, feedback frameworks, and differentiated instruction while keeping human judgment firmly in control at every step.

Audience feedback reflected both strong engagement and a clear desire for more. Attendees highlighted the session's most memorable takeaways in their own words, including:

• "The tool does not define mastery. You do."
• "Do not fear AI. Embrace it and stay up to date weekly. The Four Pillars."
• "Be cautious about anthropomorphizing AI."
• "I look forward to using the included prompts and resource guide."
• "I need to attend more of your presentations."

During the session itself, attendees praised the practical depth of the material. One educator called for Brossman to return for a full half-day immersive, saying, "This should be offered as a four-hour immersive." Another noted, "You dove so much deeper than a lot of the things I've been to. You gave us practical examples, and you showed it." A third added, "I love when it's all things I can take and use."

Written evaluations also pointed to strong demand for expanded content, with multiple attendees noting that the one-hour format left them wanting more depth on asynchronous and online course adaptation. Several respondents independently called for at least two hours, further confirming that the material resonated well beyond its time slot.

Brossman's associate, Dr. Justin Rose, was part of the keynote that day with Andrea A.C. Crowley, EdD, MBA, and also led another breakout session during the event. Dr. Rose provided valuable input on Martin Brossman's content and instructional approach, helping strengthen the practical, educator-focused nature of the material.

The Eastern NC Future Forum, organized by the NCEast Alliance (nceast.org), continues to serve as one of the region's premier gatherings for business, education, and community leaders across all 29 counties of eastern North Carolina. Now in its second decade, the Forum brings together voices shaping regional workforce development, economic opportunity, and innovation. The 2026 event centered on artificial intelligence's role in transforming education and industry, a theme that drew significant engagement throughout both days.
