Munnerlyn, St. Mark’s, and Beaches Campus faculty attended the NAIS symposium on “AI and the Future of Learning” last week, exploring how different schools are approaching AI in the classroom in age-appropriate ways. The sessions addressed student safety in the age of AI, building agency and resilience in students during the age of AI, important policies around AI, aligning curriculum with tomorrow’s workforce skills, using AI as a “trusted teammate” while ensuring the human advantage is not overshadowed, and others. “Being alongside so many other schools from across the country helped reinforce the wisdom of the deliberate approach Episcopal is taking with AI, ensuring that our approach is culturally informed, technologically informed, ethically informed, and age-appropriate for each of our students,” said Cathy Kanaday, Dean of Faculty. Keynote speakers included the authors of “The Disengaged Teen,” currently being read by Munnerlyn faculty. “Rebecca Winthrop and Jenny Anderson reinforced the constant drumbeat of the sessions: the value of keeping humans at the forefront of any work with new technologies and the necessity of process over product,” said Cathy.
