AI in Education

Over the past three years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools have rapidly become accessible to students, educators, and school communities. These tools—ranging from large language models to image and audio generators—offer exciting opportunities as well as significant risks and challenges. Educators across the Commonwealth are navigating how to harness these tools to support teaching and learning, while also addressing emerging concerns related to academic integrity, bias, data privacy, misinformation, and instructional quality.

The UDL Series

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) addresses the diverse needs of all learners, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. By incorporating UDL principles from the outset, educators can create flexible learning environments that offer multiple means of engagement, representation, and action & expression. This intentional design minimizes barriers to learning, ensuring that content is accessible and engaging for students with varying learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds.
