The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) in education has sparked both excitement and concern among educators. While some see its potential to provide personalized support for teachers and students, others worry about its potential to facilitate undetectable cheating. Recent survey data indicate that 18% of teachers have used genAI, mostly to support differentiated lesson planning, and 56% of educators believe its use in schools will continue to grow. However, there is a lack of rigorous evidence on the impact of genAI on teaching and learning, with most findings relying on anecdotal reports. Researchers have found that genAI-based coaching tools can have small effects on targeted teacher practices, but more evaluation is needed to understand its potential to truly improve teaching and student learning. As districts introduce students to this technology, it’s essential to demand proof that these tools improve outcomes and do not unintentionally harm students.
