Today, the use of this technology in education settings is underway, and states are even beginning to release guidance on how to navigate AI in schools. Over the past year, the tone of that guidance has shifted from skepticism and resistance to acceptance and optimism, according to an analysis from the Center for Reinventing Public Education.

When it comes to education training, the main pathway to improvement is through professional development. Professional development (PD) is something that is typically "done" to educators. On the other hand, professional learning is something they actively WANT to engage in to grow.

During my ten years as a school leader I dreaded professional development days in my district. I am not sure any educator looks forward to these monotonous experiences (developed under the guise of learning!) The problem here was that the experience focused on hours of time on task, not on the learning itself.

The fact is, educators have to sit in terrible professional development all the time. Either because there is a true lack of understanding of what goes into the needs of educators when it comes to their learning or like my example, it’s just plain boring. Just ask the teachers in Chicago Public Schools.
