MISSION

AI is a disruptive, transformational technology that creates new challenges and opportunities for schools, teachers, and learners. In times of transformational change, how we respond to an innovation is more important than the innovation itself.

Our mission is to empower educators and learners to leverage artificial intelligence tools in ways that support, rather than undermine, effective teaching and learning. We help educators and students bridge the gap between what AI tools can do and how those tools should be used.

VISION

We envision a future where AI tools are everywhere, and educators are able to use them in ways that:

Align priorities for teaching with students’ opportunities to learn important content, concepts, and skills.
Intentionally help students prioritize and align their strategy and effort to learn in ways that are rooted in research on effective teaching and learning.

We envision a future where AI tools are everywhere, and students are able to:

Act with the agency necessary to pursue challenging learning goals, engage in productive struggle, ask clarifying questions, seek feedback, and advocate for their learning needs, with or without the use of AI tools.
Demonstrate integrity and transparency when using AI tools, are prepared to explain their evidence of learning, and are able to monitor and reflect on the processes they’ve used to learn.
