NEW RESEARCH! ⭐️ AI adoption is happening in school districts, but new research shows that adoption alone doesn’t equal transformation.

A national study of 51 early-adopter districts found that 80% were still in the “Dabbler” or “Emerging User” stages of AI adoption, with many focused on isolated, teacher-facing tools rather than a broader district strategy.

The takeaway? It’s not about adopting AI just for the sake of adopting AI. Districts need to move beyond scattered pilots and start thinking strategically about how AI can transform teaching, learning, educator roles, and the future of their schools.

That’s exactly the conversation we’re bringing to our 2026 Fall Symposium, Leveraging AI for District Transformation, on November 18th at Google HQ in Austin, Texas.

Seats are limited and filling fast. If your district is ready to move from experimentation to intentional transformation, register today -> golearntoday.org

NEW RESEARCH! ⭐️ Did you know... A new Stanford study shows that students may not use that new AI tool you just bought for them.

Researchers examined elementary students’ use of AI literacy platforms and found that human support increased engagement with the technology — highlighting the importance of implementation alongside innovation.

The takeaway? AI tools alone do not transform learning. Creating meaningful learning experiences requires intentional planning, support systems, and the human connections that help students engage.

NEW RESEARCH! ⭐️ Did you know... research shows that even early adopter districts are not ready to scale AI innovations?

Researchers identified four stages of AI integration, with 80% of districts falling into the two earliest stages — experimenting with tools but without a long-term, systemwide strategy.

The research found that successful AI adoption requires more than isolated pilots. Districts leading the way are connecting AI to broader goals around learning, educator roles, and future-ready systems.

The takeaway? AI has the potential to transform learning environments — but only when districts move beyond experimentation toward intentional planning, collaboration, and meaningful integration.

These questions around intentional AI implementation are at the heart of LEARN’s 2026 Symposium, Leveraging AI for District Transformation, happening November 18 at Google HQ in Austin. We’ll bring together leaders to explore how AI can move from experimentation to meaningful, systemwide transformation.

📅 General registration opens August 17 — just 5 days away!
