Summary
In this article, educators in a Pennsylvania school district discuss how AI is being woven into teaching practice and student learning—not by replacing teachers, but amplifying their capacity. AI tools like Magic School help teachers personalise lesson plans, adjust reading levels, reduce repetitive tasks, and monitor student use. A “traffic light” system is used to label assignments by allowed level of AI. New teachers are required to learn AI tools; students begin learning about AI ethically from early grades. The district emphasises that AI should not replace human work but free teachers to focus more on interpersonal and high-order thinking.
Key Points
- Magic School is used to adapt assignments by subject, grade, and reading level, giving teachers flexibility.
- Teachers are being trained and supported in AI adoption via workshops, pilot programs, and guided experiments.
- A colour-coded “traffic light” system distinguishes when AI is allowed (green), allowed for some parts (yellow), or disallowed (red).
- Starting in early grades, students are taught what AI is and how to use it ethically; higher grades incorporate more active use.
- The goal: reduce workload on teachers for repetitive tasks so they can devote more energy to student interaction and complex thinking.
