Leading Educators

Today, we’re excited to share the second edition of the Value Add of Technology on Teaching framework, updated and upgraded for the age of AI.

Educators and leaders face new questions as artificial intelligence influences classrooms:

⚡How might technology add real value to teaching and learning?
⚡When might it unintentionally disrupt deep thinking or quietly introduce new risks?

The new Value Add of Technology on Teaching is designed to help teams find clarity and focus, centering what has always mattered about excellent instruction: human work and collaborative learning.

It offers a practical lens for understanding how technology can deepen thinking, strengthen instructional quality, and preserve professional judgment.

I look forward to drawing on my past experiences to nurture partnerships that strengthen leadership, sustain powerful instructional practice, and empower educators to expand opportunity for every student.”
