Future Ready with AI
Advancing Learning for All with Artificial Intelligence
AI by Design: Your Future Ready Schools® AI Guide
At All4Ed’s Future Ready Schools® (FRS), we believe in the transformative power of education technology (edtech) and innovative approaches to teaching and learning to create equitable, learner-centered environments. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest innovation to emerge, and it promises to improve student outcomes. While we see this potential, there are significant challenges, pitfalls, and concerns to be addressed as this latest technology is integrated into education policy and practice. Therefore, FRS is collaborating with experts, engaging with leading practitioners, gathering credible information, and highlighting best practices. This effort will enable school districts to harness the potential responsibly with a specific focus on ethics and equity, ensuring that all students benefit from these advancements, particularly those from marginalized and underserved communities.
Generative AI, a type of AI that can create new content and ideas, including text, images, and code, is at the forefront of this innovation. All4Ed believes the integration of Generative AI into public school systems needs to have an intentional focus on equity and ethics. If these concerns are not specifically addressed in the AI-enabled programs being implemented, it may unintentionally exacerbate existing disparities or create new gaps in student success.
Aligning AI-Enabled Program Design to the Future Ready Framework
The evidence-based Future Ready Framework is a lens through which school and district leaders can ensure thoughtful and sustainable visioning, planning, and implementation. Each “gear” of the Future Ready Framework is crucial in ensuring equitable AI integration into instructional and administrative strategies that personalize instruction and improve outcomes for each student. The following gear-by-gear alignment shows how AI programs can be implemented equitably to help ensure system-wide success. School and district leaders are encouraged to use this gear-by-gear resource to support their equitable AI implementation.
