What a great session! Thanks to everyone who attended.
As a quick follow-up, Kristina and I wanted to share links to the 2023 "AI and the Future of Teaching & Learning" report from the U.S. Department of Education (which uses the electric bike metaphor we discussed) and Google for Education's "AI in Education Readiness Assessment" (which helps systems leaders evaluate their current or developing policies and guidance).
As you review the assessment, we invite you to revisit the prompts we used for our breakout exercise (pasted below). They are designed to focus your review and help you understand how the assessment can be helpful to the policy and guidance development processes.
Governance & Procurement
How do Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) need to evolve to support teacher pedagogical agency and guide student use?
Infrastructure & Scalability
How can school systems audit server capacity and device equity across all the students the system serves?
Data & Privacy
What strict boundaries must we set with vendors to ensure student rosters, grades, and essay submissions are completely isolated from external model training?
Safety & Ethics
How can districts establish active screening protocols for classroom-facing AI tutors to detect demographic bias and prevent hallucinations?
Educators & Agency
How can we deploy AI to automate admin tasks to explicitly buy back time for 1-on-1 mentorship?
Learning & Cognition
What does analog preservation look like in elementary and middle school classrooms (e.g., handwriting, oral defense, physical arts) to keep AI from bypassing early child development milestones?
