AI is moving fast—and it’s not waiting for the education field to catch up. We must quickly engage and support policy and system leaders, change agents, and educators to be ready for the future that is rapidly approaching, so they can, in turn, prepare students for a job market that will undoubtedly require skills in generative AI. This technology also offers a real avenue to address many ongoing challenges in our public education system—a system mired in the past, hardwired for inequality, and resistant to change. But system leaders, policy makers, and educators must be bold enough to embrace these innovations, and embrace them quickly.
CRPE is conducting rapid response research to help district leaders and others manage the risks of AI, including questions of bias, equitable access, and academic integrity. We are also examining how AI might transform the roles of teachers and administrators, as well as how it might improve student outcomes. AI isn’t slowing down, and the longer we wait to start preparing our students for an AI-driven world, the less prepared they’ll be to operate effectively in their future lives and careers.
CRPE is tracking districts at the forefront of AI adoption—how they’re using and piloting AI, the challenges they’re facing, and what others can learn from them.
Experts in the field dive deep into AI in education.
