The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom is widely discussed, yet there has been far less attention to the ways that AI will change teachers’ learning experiences. AI is no longer a futuristic concept, it’s happening right now and is already in the PL landscape. AI tools are being developed to monitor classroom interactions and provide immediate feedback, and PL organizations are leveraging AI to scale instructional coaching.
RPPL conducted interviews with AI researchers, developers, PL providers, and district personnel to examine the current use of AI in teacher PL and better understand its potential for enriching teacher learning experiences.
AI in Professional Learning: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges for Educators provides recommendations to guide AI implementation in PL.
