While educators are concerned that AI may pose challenges to their job, 63 percent of teachers report that edtech has significantly streamlined their work, freeing up time to better support students – and themselves.
Schools and districts lack of preparedness for AI: Considering rapid developments in generative AI, it may come as no surprise that 89 percent of districts do not currently offer AI-focused professional development despite recognizing its impending impact. At the same time, 96 percent of teachers report not having received professional development or training on the topic, revealing a potential opportunity to better support educators for AI’s future role in education.
Edtech developers take cautious approach to AI adoption: While 80 percent of edtech companies surveyed believe generative AI will have a moderate to significant impact on teaching, 39 percent report that it’s currently shaping their product roadmap.
“AI is changing the way we approach education, and this shift is happening faster than most people realize,” said Trish Sparks, CEO of Clever. “As a former teacher, I see the potential to streamline administrative work for educators so they can invest in what’s most impactful – learning in the classroom.”
The full survey report, which included perspectives from 1,000 teachers and 500 administrators, will be released later this summer and examines educators’ experiences and perceptions of edtech.
