A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. • Consistently low-performing (graduation rates, test
scores)
• High-poverty areas of the city
• Highly diverse student bodies
o Linguistically
o Ethnically
Background: LAUSD’s Opportunity Network
3. “Rally” school- and community-based resources around
the effort to support students
The Paradigm
• Tutoring
• Translation
• Counseling
• Libraries
• Community Centers
• Boys & Girls Clubs
• Food pantries
• Homeless shelters
• Foster youth centers
• Clinics
4. How do we ensure that students take
advantage of these resources?
The Challenge
5. Use the district’s student data to populate
personalized reports with a clear support
”roadmap”
Our Solution
6. 1. Clear-language student profile that presents
a “picture” of a student’s readiness
2. Personalized action steps for every student
to achieve school readiness – or to aspire
higher for those who are on track
3. A map – an actual map – to local resources
that are specific to the student
Key Elements
7. The Student Profile
Student and Parent-
facing versions are
accessible and present
a clear – and home
language-based –
picture of a student’s
readiness for the next
level of schooling.
8. The Personalized Roadmap
Every student and family
receives a personalized
guide to important steps to
take over the next three
years
9. Individualized Community- and School-Based Resources
A localized map points families to
resources that are personally
relevant to their student.
10. • Students receive guides twice a year, refreshed with new
student, school, and community information.
• Guides are distributed so as to virtually ensure access:
o Student and parent portals
o Secure email
o Text message (with links to unique PDFs)
o At first: in-person (paper) distribution to students
A Plan for Accessibility
11. Students and families make robust use of the
reports to get the help they need to ensure
personal safety, health – and learning.
