While AI will help address our most pressing problems, it has the potential to exacerbate gaps in society and pose existential threats. We believe personalized learning also includes daily engagement with powerful learning experiences, flexibility in path and pace and the application of data to inform the individual learning trajectory of each student.Īrtificial Intelligence (AI) will have more influence on the lives and livelihoods of young people over the next few decades than any other factor. Current Trend: Personalized LearningĪccording to the National Education Technology Plan, “personalized learning” is paced to student needs, tailored to learning preferences and customized to the specific interest of different learners. For example, let’s look at the intersection of personalized learning and artificial intelligence.

Paying attention to these scenarios can help us prepare and innovate. The intersection of today’s most promising trends with high impact factors on the future creates a space for potential futures (or “imagine if”) scenarios. When we think about planning for the future of learning, we can start by diving into the innovative practice that schools and districts are already engaged in around the country, but it is also important for us to think about what key emerging factors will impact the world at large ( like artificial intelligence ). A recent district partnership encouraged us to take a look into the not so near future in order to paint a picture of possible futures for how educational services might be delivered in district settings, and to help the district prepare to strategically respond to high growth and future facility needs. As we look to the future, innovative school districts will take this responsibility to new heights by extending the options, opportunities and services they provide.Īs technology advances quickly, the opportunities (and implications) for teaching and learning in traditional school districts will continue to evolve. They not only provide education for our students, but they provide a sense of culture and community in neighborhoods that is difficult for anything else to match. įor the last 50 years, school districts have acted as a central pillar for American communities.
