How Should AI Shape Teacher Education?

A new framework outlines next steps for preparation programs to consider

"The American Association of Colleges of Teacher Education released a new framework today calling for university-based teacher education programs, which by federal estimates prepare more than 90% of new educators, to build a comprehensive approach to preparing teachers to understand how the technology can affect K-12 education—for good or ill."– Education Week

"Per my contract." — Margot W.

IRON BALE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL — A district email sent yesterday at 8:14 p.m., gently reminding staff to update gradebooks, refresh bulletin boards, and pre-pull Monday's copies, received a single reply, sent by third grade teacher Mrs. Winslow at 7:55 a.m. Monday, the minute her contract began. Her response thanked the district for its gentleness and attached a photograph of her wristwatch posed beside page 12 of the teacher contract, which lists her paid hours as 7:55 a.m. to 3:25 p.m.

Assistant superintendent Mr. Tolliver defended the request as "a small ask," an ask building staff have since priced at roughly three and a half hours of unpaid evening work. His follow-up, marked high importance and sent at 9:03 p.m., received a reply at 7:55 a.m., right when contract hours begin.

Her inbox now runs an automatic reply from 3:26 p.m. to 7:54 a.m. stating that the message has arrived outside contract hours and will receive her full attention the moment her attention resumes.
