Leading Educators Featured in EdWeek Market Brief

The Disconnect Between How AI Products Get Developed and What Teachers Need

October 25, 2024 | EdWeek Market Brief

There’s no shortage of AI-powered products and tools being developed for, and deployed in, K-12 classrooms. But there’s much less clarity on which AI tools and practices educators need most — and how to implement them effectively.”

Schools Teams AI LogoIn a new article, Michelle Caffrey profiles the School Teams AI Collaborative, a first-of-its-kind pilot from Leading Educators and the Learning Accelerator that is working to close this knowledge gap through action research with 19 schools across the country.

The end goal of the project is to gather feedback to develop and offer open educational resources to help districts best use AI products based on the initiative’s findings, said Beth Rabbitt, CEO of The Learning Accelerator.

Leading Educators CEO Chong-Hao Fu points out,

Oftentimes technology is just designed for educators to use. This is an opportunity for educators to also design their own tools, to interact with technologists, and to think about, ‘What does it actually look like for my kids in my classroom? What are the problems that we need to solve?”

The article mentions that teams of educators will explore problems they’re looking to solve with AI over the school year in two-week coaching cycles with Leading Educators’ support throughout the process.

Throughout the school year, the School Teams AI Collaborative will include coaching sessions for participants, virtual professional learning communities to connect teams across schools, and the co-creation of a national resource hub to deliver its findings.
