Evidence
From our 2025–26 pilot: 12 schools and 2 public libraries in Baltimore
Technology audits showed most sites could not count on a device for every student, so we rebuilt the curriculum to run from printed materials. Student AI comprehension on our pre/post assessment rose from 38% to 85%. 80% of surveyed stakeholders said the model could be adapted for future lessons. How these were measured
From national research
of surveyed middle and high school students used AI for schoolwork in 2025, while 35% of districts offered students any AI training.
RAND, RR-A4180-1 (2025)of principals reported any school or district policy or guidance on AI use in spring 2025.
RAND, RR-A4180-1 (2025)Low-poverty districts trained teachers on AI at nearly twice the rate of high-poverty districts in fall 2024.
