Dear colleagues,
What do we want to be true about AI in the lives of kids and teachers and as a means for realizing vastly better K-12 experiences and systems?
Debates over how, when, why, and whether AI can play a role in schools and classrooms are robust. Will efforts yield big, equitable changes for kids? Or will massive investments merely be “pretty neat” — distracting for most and modestly helpful for some?
At The Learning Accelerator, we believe that answering these questions will require serious inquiry on the ground, directly with educators and students, concretely and openly exploring how emerging tools can help make hard work more doable as well as help tackle previously impossible aims. We have to ground all of this in what we already know about learning, with clarity of purpose and willingness to share the failures along with success.
I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with our colleagues at Leading Educators to pilot The School Teams AI Collaborative. We’re bringing together subject or grade-level school-based teams (paired with their instructional lead) to explore instructional improvement and innovation with AI, codifying best practices and surfacing lessons learned to drive better understanding across the nation.
Yours in partnership and curiosity,
Beth Rabbitt, Chief Executive Officer (she/her)
