In conversations surrounding AI in schools, the opinions often heard are from the adults—the teachers, parents, and administrators. But what do the kids think? That’s exactly what Project Tomorrow set out to find out in their latest Speak Up Research Report, Students Speak Up About AI in Their Learning Lives.
For years, schools typically had a generalized approach to math assessment and intervention. A teacher would give an exam that tracked student achievement based on course goals, often combining several skills into one exam. The students scoring in the lowest 20% might get interventions, and the other students would move on.
