As technologists, researchers, and educators interested in the intersection of technology, creativity, and learning, we would like to learn more about how schools and school leaders are thinking about and adapting to the advent of AI. We recently conducted a series of focus groups with 18 superintendents, principals, and senior administrators responsible for the governance of nearly 70 schools across five states. In our latest article, we present the insights from these discussions\u2014a revealing picture of the mix of confusion, hope, and hesitancy that AI is stirring in actual educational settings. It&#8217;s also important to mention that this article is a collaborative effort between the faculty at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and our partner, The <a href=\"https:\/\/crpe.org\/\">Center for the Reinvention of Public Education (CRPE)<\/a>. Jim Dunnigan and Erin Richards (from CRPE) also got a piece about this research into <em>The74, <\/em>in an article titled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the74million.org\/article\/just-slow-it-all-down-school-leaders-want-guidance-on-ai-new-research-finds\/\">&#8220;Just slow it all down:&#8221; School leaders want guidance on AI, new research finds. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-74 wp-block-embed-the-74\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Dk5unv2OYV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the74million.org\/article\/just-slow-it-all-down-school-leaders-want-guidance-on-ai-new-research-finds\/\">\u2018Just Slow It All Down\u2019: School Leaders Want Guidance on AI, New Research Finds<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;\u2018Just Slow It All Down\u2019: School Leaders Want Guidance on AI, New Research Finds&#8221; &#8212; The 74\" src=\"https:\/\/www.the74million.org\/article\/just-slow-it-all-down-school-leaders-want-guidance-on-ai-new-research-finds\/embed\/#?secret=xdNavNuaKN#?secret=Dk5unv2OYV\" data-secret=\"Dk5unv2OYV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In brief, school leaders described needing more clarity and direction before they can harness the promise or problems of AI. They want to avoid rash policies, yet also see potential benefits, if we take time to understand that this technology can do (and can undo). This glimpse into the practitioners&#8217; perspective reveals the human side of adapting to abruptly arrived technologies that could transform education as we know it.
