Funded by the Gates Foundation AI For Instruction Fellowship, The School of Education’s Anny Case and IIAT’s Jay Yang have partnered to explore how K–12 educators can ethically and effectively integrate artificial intelligence into classroom instruction. Rooted in the Gates Foundation’s strategic commitment to academic improvement, equity and charter sector sustainability, the Fellowship program aims to position educators as instructional leaders in the ethical use of AI while enabling cross-sector partnerships to solve real-world challenges in education. In conjunction with the Fellowship training (a "boot camp", monthly coaching, learning labs and capstone showcase), the project’s principal investigators will conduct research to collect and assess participating teachers’ and students’ reflections on the programs intended outcomes. The research findings and lessons learned will be disseminated at the conclusion of the project.
