The Transformative Potential of AI: 6 Big Questions for Schools
December 9, 2024
When it comes to artificial intelligence, thoughtful leadership at the district, school, and classroom levels is more important than ever. How schools evaluate and respond to the proliferation of AI will hinge largely on the knowledge and dispositions of district leaders, principals, and teachers. Together, they need to determine what role the technology should play in education, how to develop a better understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of it, and then leverage it to improve teaching and learning and the management of schools.
This report centers on six key questions related to those challenges: Will AI transform standardized testing? How will the technology change school operations? What should PD on artificial intelligence look like? What measures are needed to curb AI "deepfakes" and bullying? Can AI improve special education? And, how can schools use the technology to help English learners?
