[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the worst idea I have ever heard. Just contributes to laziness. Bring back textbooks and real curriculums. I don't want AI generated content or worksheets. I can tell when a teacher uses chatGPT because there is usually something wrong.

Dear FCPS Families,

Every day, I am inspired by the resilience, creativity, and promise of our students – and the responsibility we share to provide them with the tools and opportunities they need to find their futures in a rapidly changing world.

We are entering what I believe is this generation’s “Sputnik moment.” The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every part of our society, and our nation’s schools will continue to be a critical place for both possibility and responsibility. As countries and industries around the world move swiftly to develop and apply new technologies, we must ensure that our students and staff are prepared to lead – not follow – this work.

That is why I am pleased to share that working together with OpenAI, FCPS will be in the first cohort of school divisions across the nation to help guide how ChatGPT for Teachers will roll out across the United States. We are trailblazing a path for hundreds of other school divisions and communities to follow.

ChatGPT for Teachers can among other things provide support, planning, communication, translation, and data analysis at no cost to schools until June of 2027. With ChatGPT for Teachers, OpenAI is delivering strong privacy and security safeguards, ensuring FCPS privacy and security standards are being upheld in these tools. Additionally, this tool will only be available for staff use.

[b]AI will never replace the heart of teaching or the human connections that are foundational to the high-quality education we provide all our students[/b]. But AI can remove barriers, save time, and open doors to new ideas and spark innovation in the classroom and beyond.

By working together – students, families, staff, and community partners – we can equip our young people with the skills, confidence, and curiosity they need to meet the future with purpose. Together, all things are possible!

Take good care,

Superintendent

There has only been a little bit of research on this, but what is out there is showing that students prefer a human instructor over an avatar. As someone in higher ed this gives me comfort — many students probably won’t pay tuition to be taught by robots, so universities will still need human instructors if they don’t want to lose their customer base. I worry about K-12 public education, where they are always looking to cut costs. [/quote]
