While artificial intelligence and machine learning are not new technologies, recent leaps in the technology driving these tools are rapidly transforming our day-to-day lives. From sophisticated software programs that amazingly interpret keystrokes before they are made to financial institutions predicting purchasing habits to tools like ChatGPT creating sophisticated marketing materials, AI, or rather, generative AI, has burst onto the scene seemingly overnight.
It’s more important than ever to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving work world. Creativity, flexibility, communication, and problem solving are among the most highly touted skills in the workplace today, yet they are often left out of the traditional K-12 curriculum.

Typical conversations about education reform revolve around things like how we teach (education policy) or what we teach (the curriculum). But according to Dr. Ron Ritchhart, world-renowned educator, researcher, and author, and Francis Vigeant, KnowAtom’s Founder and CEO, changing the “what” and “how” in education doesn’t have nearly as much impact as looking at the “why.”
