In case you missed it, Carnegie Learning published a great little report, “The State of AI in Education 2025” which is essentially key findings from a national survey they conducted on hundreds of educators. Not too surprisingly, the #1 potential benefit of students using AI was the newest answer choice added to this year’s survey: increasing student engagement. On the district administration level, in 2024, 20% of schools/districts had AI policies; in 2025, 40% have them.
One educator reported on his usage of AI as a productivity tool: ““Typically, my tasks have been cut by about 10-20%, which is about 5-10 hours per week. AI has helped me with classroom walkthroughs, evaluation, coaching teachers, and creating PD materials for teachers. Instead of manually drafting observation summaries, AI can quickly generate structured, rubric-aligned feedback, allowing more time for coaching and meaningful conversations with teachers.”
Also from the report, “Our 2025 report on AI in education highlights a pivotal shift: AI is becoming increasingly integrated into K-12 education. Educators are not only growing more comfortable with using it and having their students use it, but overall optimism about AI’s potential is also on the rise. While concerns about cheating and privacy remain, more teachers are instructing students on responsible AI usage, and more districts are providing training and support. As we continue to monitor the evolving trajectory of AI in education, our research signals several actionable next steps, particularly for administrators.”
