π¨ Name Something that's Lagging Behind in Most Schools. Research Says...
TRAINING! It's on the board. It's what educators need.
The research confirms teachers are already using AI, but governance and training haven't kept pace.
βStanford's research summary puts it plainly: "Teachers also need time, training, and infrastructure to integrate AI tools into their work, and these supports are often unevenly distributed across schools."
And it's not just a resource problem, it's a design problem. The research points to two factors that determine whether AI amplifies learning or undermines it:
- Equitable access to the right tools (which look different for teachers than for students)
- The learning design decisions that teachers make every day
Those decisions require training. A systematic review of 43 studies on teacher AI professional development found that the schools where teachers actually changed their practice were the ones that combined technical skill-building with pedagogical reflection, ongoing support, and a culture that made it safe to experiment and fail.
Pure point-and-click tool training? Buzz. That's why everything I do is grounded in teaching and learning first, technology second.
If your teachers are already using AI but donβt feel confident or consistent, this is exactly the work I do with schools.
