In many schools, AI is being handled through individual teacher decisions rather than a shared structure. That makes sense in the short term. Teachers are responding in real time, trying to protect their classrooms, their expectations, and their students.
I know what it feels like to stand in front of a classroom that does not have enough. Not enough computers. Not enough up-to-date software and technical tools. Not enough resources to give every student the experience they deserve. When students notice these gaps, they notice more than the missing tools.
In our district, families were checking multiple apps just to keep up with school communication. One child’s teacher posted in one platform. Another school used something different. District updates lived somewhere else entirely.
I'm 28 years old, and to be honest, I haven’t done much with my life so far. Recently, I stumbled across programming and cybersecurity online, and the positive aspects of both fields really caught my attention. I’ve always been patient with solving problems, and I actually enjoy figuring things out. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. I'm also fairly tech-savvy, and for the first time in a while, I feel like I might have found something I could be genuinely good at. The thing is, I’m not in a position to go to college or attend any formal institution. I’ve seen stories about people learning online and breaking into tech, but I’ve also read a lot of negative takes. Even graduates sometimes struggle to land jobs. So I’m genuinely curious: if I commit to learning and work really hard, do I realistically have a chance to turn my life around and get into programming or cybersecurity without a degree?

Remember the early 2000s, back when high-speed internet felt like a luxury reserved for the tech elite and the lucky few with deep pockets? We called it the Broadband Gap or Equity of Access, and it influenced who got ahead and who got left behind.

School districts are adopting AI policies more than ever, but a lack of resources, funding and expertise has some still concerned.
In the second week of January, a senior mathematics teacher with 22 years in the classroom raised a hand at the end of a staff meeting and asked a question that changed the way I now design AI literacy work for entire faculties.

School leaders are under constant pressure to stretch every dollar further, yet many districts are losing money in ways they may not even realize. The culprit? Outdated facilities processes that quietly chip away at resources, frustrate staff, and create ripple effects across learning environments.
A new report found states hit an all-time high for both spending and enrollment, but the quality of the programs remains a concern.
Does the thought of student-led inquiry make you nervous? For some teachers, handing over control of the classroom to their students sounds like an invitation for disaster.
AI has crossed a threshold. In 2026, it is no longer a pilot category or a differentiator you add on. It is part of the operating fabric of education, embedded in how learning experiences are created, how learners practice, how educators respond, and how outcomes are measured. That reality changes the product design standard.
Technical skills are changing rapidly. A college education teaches students something more durable.
When my daughter was little, every time we climbed into the car, she’d look up and ask, “Are we going to take the low way?”
As AI increasingly automates technical tasks across industries, students’ long-term career success will rely less on technical skills alone and more on durable skills or professional skills, often referred to as soft skills. These include empathy, resilience, collaboration, and ethical reasoning--skills that machines can’t replicate.

When I shipped Gramms AI to the App Store, I ran straight into a question that every developer building for kids will eventually face: What does “age-appropriate” actually mean in practice? And how do you build systems that enforce it reliably?

To have a sustainable workforce in 2026, CNOs must partner closely with CHROs and other TA leaders to streamline recruiting and do more than make roles appealing to applicants. From a talent acquisition (TA) standpoint, recruiting isn't just about filling roles with just anyone anymore. According to Jennifer Spinelli , director of system talent acquisition at Beebe Healthcare , the goal now is to reach sustainability by building the right mix of permanent staff pipelines and having the flexibility to be proactive instead of reactive. Here are three ways that CNOs can partner with TA leaders to build a more sustainable nursing workforce, according to Spinelli. Click here to read the accompanying story .

When I first stepped into my role overseeing student data for the Campbell County School District, it was clear we were working against a system that no longer served us.
Data has become one of the most important strategic assets in education. Yet across institutions, publishers, and edtech companies, it often remains fragmented, inconsistently governed, and difficult to use with confidence.

Some of the most effective literacy ecosystems today are those where schools and public libraries work not in parallel, but in partnership with parents and students.
In an era of rising resistance and restrictive legislation, asking educators to take risks without protecting them is not leadership, it is liability. Jennifer D. Klein, author of Taming the Turbulence in Educational Leadership, offers a clear-eyed framework for how school leaders can prepare their people with transformative professional learning, adapt systems to support innovation, and stand as a buffer when opposition arrives. This is the kind of piece that reminds education leaders why the soul of their work has always been human development, for adults as much as students.
