We are only scratching the surface on the ways AI will improve edtech and truly support educators. There is a lot of potential for AI to deliver results, equity, and truly impressive support for teachers but only if we are focused on the right questions.

The biggest question I get is "Is AI going to take my job as a teacher?" And the answer is no. It'll actually make your job more human in a sense because if we are able to learn its capacity and how we can make our job more efficient, that will free us up to do more of the human things like engage with students and have that more human interaction..." Get ready for an incredible conversation with Jerry Almendarez, the trailblazing leader from the Santa Ana School District, on our next episode of More Than A Test with Laura Glaab! Jerry discusses the pressing challenges of declining enrollment and financial hurdles, sharing how his district is turning innovation into action. Discover how AI platforms and innovative initiatives like the Innovation Catalyst Collective and Curiosity Cruise are set to revolutionize teaching and operational efficiency – all while ensuring that human connections remain at the heart of education. Don't miss out on this engaging episode filled with personal stories, visionary strategies, and the relentless commitment to preparing our students for a global future. Stay tuned! #EducationInnovation #AIinSchools #FutureOfEducation
