  • Summary

  • www.teachaiedu.com How should schools prepare for artificial intelligence's arrival? In this episode, we discuss embracing AI's possibilities in education with Dr. Sharon Shewbridge, Director of Instructional Technology for Virginia Beach City Public Schools. Sharon shares how her district is taking a thoughtful, teacher-focused approach to adopting AI. Rather than banning AI outright, they are developing guidelines and guardrails to allow teachers to first explore AI tools. The goal is for teachers to become comfortable with AI so they can use it as a time-saving "thought partner" for planning differentiated lessons aligned to standards. We also discuss the coming pedagogical shifts in assessments and assignments. Students may also interact with AIs in the future that are designed not to give answers but to prompt critical thinking. For district leaders and teachers navigating the AI landscape, this episode offers practical guidance on embracing AI's possibilities while prioritizing teacher readiness and student safety. Tune in to hear insights from the frontlines of AI adoption!
