Dinowitz on teacher guidance and AI implementation gaps

Well, that's any educational tool, show your learning, right?

And any educational tool is teacher guidance.

That's the purpose of a teacher, right?

Otherwise, what the hell do I need a master's degree for in teaching, right?

And is it your understanding that that's actually happening in schools, that teachers are guiding the use of AI?

And for what purpose is this AI used?

What's the educational benefit?

Well, I think that there's so many different versions of how it might be used, the most important of which is exactly what Dr.

Chang just talked about with adult oversight.

So we know we have some tutoring.

Programs that, and online programs that are adaptive, whether it, that we're using more in supplemental and intervention spaces.

I also want to go back to the conversation about like the chat GPT.

You know, we have these policies in our schools and as, and actually is,

how come we felt it very prudent to put out this guidance with guardrails, to be very clear about the IRMA process, what should and should not be student-facing, what can and shouldn't be teacher-facing.

And now, as you know, I've spent the vast majority of my career focused on implementation.

And so that's where we are now.

How is this landing?

schools, how is the guidance and our policies actually coming to life?

So when we hear these examples about the misuse against our policies, like we want to engage with our superintendents and principals to understand, like, where is the misunderstanding in the policy?

We should not be having, you know, this particular

you know, the chat GPT example, freely for children to be using in classrooms.

We should make sure that the Google Gemini is, we understand it to be the 35 schools, and if it's far exceeding that, those are great examples that should be escalated to us for further explanation.

And that's part of our implementation process, the checks and balances of it.

I think we hear all the time about escalating.
