Episode Notes

AI is reshaping education fast, and everyone from superintendents to teachers are asking one very important question: how do we responsibly manage this innovative force?

For many districts, that conversation starts with policy. This month, we’re sitting down with with Amanda Bickerstaff (AI for Education), who brings 20 years of classroom and leadership experience to one of the biggest questions facing schools today. Together, we’re cutting through the fear and hype to reveal what AI policy really needs: a shift from policing plagiarism to building AI literacy for life.

Along the way, we’ll look at specific examples of districts successfully navigating AI policy-making, moving from general guidelines to actionable frameworks while answering questions like:

      • Should AI ever grade student work?
      • When does convenience cross into an ethical risk?
      • How do we prepare students for a future shaped by emerging technologies?

Listen in for a candid, thoughtful conversation that provides technology leaders, administrators, and teachers with the perspective needed to build a future where AI enhances, rather than undermines, ethical and equitable learning.
