Overview

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into K-12 classrooms necessitates a fundamental shift in how Florida prepares its next generation of educators. While current teacher preparation programs focus on foundational pedagogy, they must evolve to equip pre-service teachers with the knowledge and competencies to not only use AI tools effectively but to also teach about them ethically and responsibly.
