Poster 12: How AI is Revolutionizing 6th–12th Grade Teaching, Learning, and Assessment

Much has been said about the AI revolution in K–12 education. In fact, the past twelve months alone have seen major conferences—including the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit—explicitly titled The AI Revolution in Education. This presentation, delivered multiple times over the past year, offers a clear and practical guide to what the AI revolution means for 6th–12th grade classrooms. It begins with a brief overview of AI’s evolution in education since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022, followed by an introduction to six innovative AI tools that are already transforming teaching and learning at the secondary level. Participants will see how AI can help address ten long-standing classroom challenges—such as providing timely feedback, differentiating instruction, and managing heavy workloads. Special focus will be given to three key areas: saving time, supporting diverse learners, and improving feedback quality.
