The Future of K-12 Education: Empowering Educators to Lead the Way As K-12 leaders and board members, we hold the key to unlocking the potential of our education system. With the rapid evolution of the workforce, it's our responsibility to ensure that our educators are equipped with the tools and support they need to prepare students for success in the 21st century. At American College of Education (ACE), we've seen firsthand the transformative power of investing in professional learning and leadership development for teachers and administrators. By providing comprehensive, credit-bearing pathways tailored to each district's unique needs, we can empower educators to deliver engaging, relevant learning experiences that resonate with today's students. For example, ACE can develop learning bundles that align with specific district initiatives, such as STEM, literacy, special education, and content area instruction. This approach goes beyond the traditional higher education cohort-to-program model, allowing for a more customized and targeted professional learning experience. To build a thriving culture of professional growth, we must start by establishing a clear vision and aligning our priorities, resources, and processes. From there, we can build sustainable, competitive teacher training programs that not only attract top talent but also retain and develop our existing educators. By focusing on subject matter expertise, leadership skills, and effective mentoring, we can cultivate a pipeline of confident, capable leaders at every level of our districts. The benefits of this approach are clear: elevated student outcomes, reduced educator attrition, and graduates who are prepared to tackle the challenges of the future head-on. And with ACE's affordable, flexible, and high-quality programs, districts can achieve these goals while maximizing value and ROI. As education leaders, it's time for us to take bold action and invest in the future of our educators and students. By partnering with institutions like ACE, we can create a brighter tomorrow – one where every classroom is led by an empowered, inspiring educator. The question is: are you ready to lead the way? #ACE #K12leadership #educationfuture #empoweringeducators #visionaryleadership #HigherED

At CoSN2024, in a discussion on the power of AI to transform education, Hadi Partovi urged for mandatory AI education in K–12, stressing its role in preventing the digital divide. Mike Trucano highlighted equity concerns, echoing the 2024 update to the National Educational Technology Plan (NETP). Partovi warned against inaction, stating, "The greatest risk is not doing anything…doing absolutely nothing at all is going to be the worst disservice for our young people. Basically, a generation that doesn’t learn about how to use this technology and how to create with this technology is going to be left behind, and it’s really up to us as educators to evolve” Key Takeaways: Urgent Integration: Hadi Partovi advocates for AI education as fundamental to prevent the digital divide. Equity Concerns: Mike Trucano emphasizes the need for equitable access to AI resources, aligned with the NETP. Policy Considerations: Policymakers must understand AI to regulate its responsible integration in education. Monitor AI Tools: Continuous monitoring is crucial for ensuring AI benefits diverse student populations. #AI #AIinEducation #EdTech #DigitalDivide #EquityinEducation #FutureReady #PolicyInnovation #StudentSuccess #CoSN2024 #NETP #K12 #Education #GenAI #GenerativeAI #ArtificalIntelligence "Special thanks to ChatGPT for helping me craft this post."
