Insight School of Michigan Teaches AI Responsibility

What does AI actually look like when it’s designed for schools — not just used in them? In Part II of our AI in the Classroom series, we take readers inside how several San Antonio schools are building custom AI tools to strengthen teacher development, improve student feedback, and solve real challenges inside classrooms. It’s a look at what’s emerging locally — and what it may signal for the future of teaching and learning. Read the latest in the Learning Ledger: https://bit.ly/4b0ctNy

The future of AI in classrooms shouldn’t be accidental. It should be intentional. That’s why I’m excited that Leading Educators released an updated version of our Value Add of Technology on Teaching framework, refreshed for the age of AI. 💻 It’s a practical decision tool to help educators and leaders determine how technology can deepen student thinking, strengthen instruction, and preserve professional judgment. As you navigate big questions about the future, I hope you’ll check it out: leadingeducators.org/vatt

🚀 Teachers are already transforming their classrooms with AI… are you in? We’re launching a free training experience for elementary educators in the U.S. to help bring AI into the classroom in a practical, meaningful way. This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to explore, create, and rethink teaching with the support of a growing educator community. If you’re in Arizona, California, Texas, or New York, this is for you. 👇 All the details in the image — save your spot! https://lnkd.in/egdpRbAC

AI is changing classrooms. Teachers remain essential. Curious how new tech is shaping real teaching—not replacing it? And what does this mean for safeguarding and support? Our latest blog unpacks what AI can (and can’t) do in education. See how our local, human-first approach keeps your standards high.

How should we prepare future teachers in an AI-driven world? In our upcoming April Nuts & Bolts webinar, Justin Reich and Jesse Dukes share real stories from students and educators navigating AI in their schools. The conversation will explore how AI is reshaping learning and what that means for teacher preparation programs and instructional practice. Register here: https://lnkd.in/g9yQ3YyF

AI is already in classrooms. Students are using it. Teachers are experimenting with it. Schools are writing policies as fast as they can. If you're in the Boulder area, join us for tonight's Ethics & AI Meetup: AI in Education: Cheating, Learning, and Fair Assessment We’ll explore: • What counts as cheating now? • What does real evidence of mastery actually look like? • Do strict AI bans protect students or widen inequities? • What should schools require from AI tools when it comes to privacy and data? • How can we redesign assignments to reduce incentives to cheat without turning to surveillance? We welcome students, educators, parents, technologists, and administrators and we’re intentional about making space for every voice in the room. https://lnkd.in/gSjRXi8n

At ETS, we’re pioneering GenAI teaching simulations that allow educators and future teachers to practice high-leverage instructional skills in safe, interactive online environments. These simulations provide personalized opportunities to engage with realistic student scenarios, reflect on responses, and grow confidence before entering real-world classrooms. This isn’t hypothetical — it’s research-backed design and evaluation by cross-disciplinary teams of educators, AI engineers, and learning scientists focused on meaningful instructional development. 🔎 Read how these AI-powered practice spaces are driving the next generation of teacher learning: https://bit.ly/4tErSvz #TeachingSimulations #AI #TeacherPrep #Praxis

In today's classroom, the challenge is preserving student cognition without relying on digital crutches, particularly AI. A practical approach involves a "flipped classroom" model. Students engage with video content the night before class, allowing for in-person time to be dedicated to deeper learning and critical thinking, rather than passive consumption. This method ensures that students are actively grappling with material, fostering a more robust and independent cognitive process. #Education #CognitiveDevelopment #TeachingStrategies #FlippedClassroom #Learning

AI tools are reshaping classrooms by personalizing instruction, supporting diverse learners, and saving time on admin. This shift lets teachers focus on meaningful engagement and outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gzbANmuS
