What We Believe
How do AI tools fit in with our teaching and learning priorities?
How can you engage with students and teachers on the topic of AI in the classroom?
Our mission and guiding principles help us remain confident in our ability to adapt to any new technology. We will continue to prioritize student-centered learning, assessments that invite students to challenge, question, and create as they navigate ambiguity and prepare for a future defined by change.
We hope to host an Open Forum later this winter where parents can gather to share their questions, experiences, and predictions for how generative AI has and will continue to shape the workplace and education. Stay tuned for more information, and in the meantime, check out some of the resources we’ve been exploring on the topic of AI:
