The ILO Group announced this week the publication of its Framework for Implementing artificial intelligence in K-12 Education– a first-of-its-kind ai framework for state and school district educational leaders – that provides them with the tools, resources and research base to thoughtfully adopt this innovative technology.
He Framework for Implementing artificial intelligence in K-12 Education provides district and state leaders with a roadmap to understand the potential benefits of ai, address associated challenges, and make well-informed decisions about its implementation.
“ai is reshaping education as we know it. “This is not about the future, it is about now,” he said. Dr. Julia Rafal-Baer, Executive Director of the ILO Group. “Until now, district and state leaders have lacked the comprehensive guidance they need to navigate the complexities of ai and to this point have found piecemeal solutions and ad hoc tools. No more. Our Framework changes that. Provides strategic direction, real-world use cases, and department-specific applications. It has also been stress-tested with input from a national working group of state and district superintendents. Our goal is to empower leaders with the knowledge they need to make informed, impactful decisions that will shape the future of learning.”
Key features of the ILO Group ai Framework include:
- Holistic orientation: It addresses the political, operational, technical and fiscal dimensions of ai implementation, ensuring leaders are well-equipped to make informed decisions.
- Department-Specific Practical Applications: Describes real-world use cases for ai in various departments, including curriculum and instruction, special education, student support services, and more.
- Proactive risk mitigation: Includes risk assessment profiles to help leaders proactively address potential challenges related to bias, privacy, communication, and pedagogy.
- Adaptive resource: Designed as a “living document” to evolve alongside ai advances and lessons learned from real-world use.
While district applications are the primary use case for this first framework, state leaders may find the tool useful to inform their work supporting districts. To complement the framework published today, the ILO Group will launch an artificial intelligence tool at the state level in the coming months.
