AI in Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving at lightning speed, but will U.S. classrooms be able to evolve with it—and take advantage of potential benefits?

The advent of AI in schools presents a new slew of obstacles and questions for educators and administrators: How can investments and policies ensure these benefits reach the students most in need? How will so many districts train up their teachers amid other pressing priorities and increasing financial constraints? How can educators learn quickly about which AI tools and strategies work best?

At CRPE, we are deeply engaged in trying to help answer these questions by understanding and shaping the impact of AI in K–12 education. We are committed to leading the way in this important work, ensuring that AI becomes a tool for enhancing learning and equity, rather than exacerbating existing disparities. We are tracking and reporting on state regulatory moves. We are conducting a study of school districts that are implementing AI at scale to identify best practices and potential pitfalls. Additionally, we are examining “first adopters” of AI among educators and districts, aiming to understand how early experimentation with these technologies can inform broader adoption.
