National Assessment Governing Board reposted this
Executive Director @ National Assessment Governing Board. Public servant, education advocate, parent.
Last week at the Education Commission of the States #NationalForum I was inspired by the opening panel on AI, moderated by Pat Yongpradit. A few things really stood out to me: (1) We know that AI is changing so rapidly that very few people are truly experts. We are all on this learning journey together., and we need to be curious, ask questions, try out new tools, and consider implications together. (2) There are so many questions for educators to be asking — perhaps most important, how can we ensure kids grow up understanding how best to use AI, not be USED BY it? In this new era of generative AI era, students now have access to a huge amount of information at their fingertips — even more than us millennials did with the proliferation of home internet. How can we use this opportunity to support the curiosity of students and help them become even better critical thinkers? Thank you to panelists ND Superintendent Kirsten Baesler, Gilbert E. Gonzalez, M.Ed, WA State Senator Lisa Wellman, and Claus von Zastrow, as well as superb moderator Pat Yongpradit from Code.org. As I work with the Governing Board on how we can leverage AI in NAEP to better understand and support student learning, all of your thoughtful observations and advice will be parked in the front of my mind.
Here are the slides from the opening plenary about AI at the Education Commission of the States National Forum. It was a pleasure to present with Claus von Zastrow, Kirsten Baesler, Lisa Wellman, and Gilbert E. Gonzalez, M.Ed. Thank you, José Muñoz, for having us. If you were in the audience, I'd love to read your takeaways from the presentation and discussion, as well as any questions you have. #TeachAI, #AI, #EdPolicy

An overwhelming majority of students answered the question about making a difference in their community with a negative response, which our Board Member, high school civics and history teacher Patrick Kelly found alarming. “It doesn't bode well for democratic governance or for community health if less than 50% of the population feels they can make a difference. Political efficacy matters — and this shows our students don't have it.” Read more about the results here: https://lnkd.in/edR8xyC8
