Dinowitz questions teacher training and certification for AI tools

And so I just want to ask one more question.

I'll turn it over to my co-chair.

You spoke about teacher intervention, teachers looking at the work, knowing their students.

What's your...

What training does the DOE provide?

What certification does the DOE provide?

How are you actually measuring whether teachers are trained in any use of these AI tools that they are then being asked to use with students or in detection of any AI-generated content that their students are turning in?

For training, I will invite Dr.

Pate and or Tara to join in.

But what I would say is some of the programs that we rely on most are connected to our Tier 1 curriculum or supplements to it.

And so the training for all aspects of the program is part of like the New York City Reads and New York City Solves professional learning plan.

So there's centrally designed professional learning.

There is district level.

And then there's school-based.

So if a principal or a superintendent or centrally we're recommending a program that would be good as a supplement or an intervention program, it's going to come with training, as does

all the aspects of that program.

So, for example.

You know, one of the programs that we know and we've gotten, you know, a lot of questions about and feedback is within HMH, there's writable.

We also know lots of our schools adopted Amira for some supports in literacy and Zurn in math, just some examples.

And so...

No.

Nobody would be asking teachers to engage in those programs without training.

But that's also our non-computer-based assessment.

So when it's part of the instructional strategy and either tier one intervention or supplemental, that is all part of the professional learning package that is coming into schools.
