Revolutionizing Teaching: The AI Impact
We are conducting a study over the academic years 2024-2026. An awardee must justify why their organization is the best fit to host this U.S. Department of Education-funded project.
The following are the concepts to be explored:
Educator workforce: Identification of how technology and other innovations, such as artificial intelligence (AI), can be used to ease the demands on teachers and address other factors contributing to teacher shortages, burn rate, and churn rate.
Pedagogy Model Training: Unravel the intricacies of the learning journey, exploring and testing new-age study strategies, instructional methods, curricula, and more, directly addressing the pivotal needs of educators. The development of vertically developed models trained on the best practical implementations of mandated lessons to create equitable dissemination of information regardless of school location and resources.
AI in Learning Sciences: Harness the insights from learning sciences to determine optimal techniques through which our LLM can holistically enrich the learning spectrum for every student and the educating process for each teacher by offering top-quality suggestions for educating the class based on various environmental factors.
