AI Implementation in Bradford County Classrooms
STARKE, Fla. – Educational leaders in Bradford County Public Schools are excited about the upcoming integration of artificial intelligence into their classrooms.
Bradford County Schools’ Professor Learning Coordinator, Christina Cornwell, emphasized that AI technology is innovative, aiming not only to enhance student learning but also to tackle the persistent teacher shortage.
Research indicates that around 40% of new teachers in Florida leave the profession within their first five years. Cornwell remarked that it is vital to explore AI’s potential in improving teacher retention rates as well.
‘There’s simply not enough time in the day for teachers to do everything that we’re asking them to do outside of school hours. We had to find a way to allow them to accomplish what they needed to, to best meet the needs of our students, in a shortened amount of time,’
She continued, ‘We’re not taking the workload off teachers, but hopefully through AI we’re able to allow them to get through some of this stuff quicker, so they can attend to other things like differentiating instructions for our kids, meeting their specific needs.’
The technology, provided by SchoolAI, is set to allow students to interact with AI-powered historical figures for educational assignments, indicating a significant step forward in classroom technology.
‘They already have access to this technology,’ said Cornwell. ‘If we are not teaching them how to use it ethically, they are bound to use it inappropriately. So we in Bradford County are committed to teaching our students how to use it instead of shutting the door and pretending it doesn’t exist.’
Bradford County is not alone in its efforts; institutions like P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School and the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind have also implemented similar technologies.
