I think we’re seeing a lot of interest in generative AI. There’s fear but also intrigue. We are 100% figuring out how to use this technology. I think there’s huge benefits to save teachers time.

With how consistent and available surface level data is (like attendance and grades), it leads many of us to say “yes we have usable data.” But when we ask “why?” about a dataset, we often find the data doesn’t exist to answer that question, or we have it for some students but not others. We have a long way to go to address gaps in data and understand connection between inputs and outcomes.
