AI 101 for Teachers: Code.org, ETS, ISTE, and Khan Academy partner on professional learning series
The sessions are designed to help educators bring AI to their classrooms safely and equitably.
Momentum around artificial intelligence (AI) continues to accelerate, captivating society with its generative capabilities. As AI becomes even more prevalent, the K-12 education community needs to embrace it and equip educators and students with the knowledge and skills to utilize it effectively and responsibly.
According to a recent survey, AI is poised to play a growing role in education, but the majority of teachers lack training on how to leverage this new technology in their classrooms. About 75% of surveyed teachers believe AI should be taught to students. However, only 13% have had any training on how to teach AI to their students.
To help meet this growing need, Code.org, ETS, ISTE, and Khan Academy are excited to announce a free professional learning course designed to level the playing field of AI understanding among K-12 teachers as they head back to the classroom this fall.
