Uneven Adoption of AI Tools Among U.S. Teachers and Principals

Key Findings

1. Teacher Usage:

   • Approximately one-quarter (25%) of U.S. public school teachers reported using AI tools for instructional planning or teaching in the 2023–2024 school year.
   • ELA and science teachers showed higher usage than general elementary education or math teachers.
   • Teachers in lower-poverty schools were more likely to use AI, but those in higher-poverty schools reported using it more frequently when they did.
   • Usage was linked to administrative tasks, differentiation of instruction, creating lesson materials, and grading.

2. Principal Usage:

   • Nearly 60% of principals reported using AI tools in their jobs, primarily for drafting communications.
   • Principals in lower-poverty schools were more likely to use AI and seek guidance, while those in higher-poverty schools were less likely.

3. Disparities:

   • Teachers and principals in higher-poverty schools had less access to AI guidance and fewer policies supporting its use.
   • The gap between low- and high-poverty schools widened in terms of AI adoption and support.

4. Concerns:

   • Major concerns included lack of professional development, data privacy issues, and uncertainty about AI application.

Recommendations

• Develop targeted strategies to support AI adoption in higher-poverty schools.
• Increase professional training for educators on effective AI use.
• Conduct further research to understand AI's impact on teaching and student learning.
• Create equitable access to AI tools and policies across schools.
