EDUCATOR REPORT
What's inside?
1.Educator Use of AI
We surveyed hundreds of educators to find out how their AI usage has evolved over the past year. Based on their responses, we identified six user types ranging from AI enthusiasts to AI-wary traditionalists.
2. Challenges and Concerns
Educators shared their biggest challenges and concerns regarding AI, including technical glitches, worries over academic integrity, and the lack of clearly-defined policies for student use.
3. Benefits and Impacts
Despite their challenges and concerns, however, educators continue to see significant benefits from AI. From saving time on administrative tasks to generating innovative student activities, AI has helped educators maximize the little planning time they have.
Here's Just A Glimpse Of What You'll Discover Inside:
“Typically, my tasks have been cut by about 10-20%, which is about 5-10 hours per week. AI has helped me with classroom walkthroughs, evaluation, coaching teachers, and creating PD materials for teachers. Instead of manually drafting observation summaries, AI can quickly generate structured, rubric-aligned feedback, allowing more time for coaching and meaningful conversations with teachers.”
Ebelechukwu Agu
Dean of Instruction Grand Prairie Independent School District, TX
“I would say I save at least 5-7 hours, depending on the week. AI has been a useful brainstorming partner. Once I have a starting place, I use AI to draft and revise. Always, I want to keep the human element in my work, so I never want to just fully automate everything, but sharing the brain capacity for repetitive or administrative tasks allows me more brain power for the creative & humane parts of my job.”
Kiera Beddes
Digital Teaching & Learning Specialist Jordan School District, UT
“I believe AI is a great tool, but I would love more training with examples of how teachers use it. It is a tool that can enhance our lessons so we should not be afraid of it.“
Lisa Theriault
Spanish Teacher Saint Edward’s School, FL
“One of the biggest obstacles in providing AI training for teachers is changing the mindset of teachers to see AI as a tool for their use and equipping teachers with the knowledge of teaching their students the proper use of AI, not to use it as a shortcut or way to get around using brainpower.”
