How Canadian School Teachers are Assessing AI Usage

While there are lessons and programs to address learning concepts available that have been created through AI, these are not adapted for individual teacher use which is concerning for instructors in the school system. Each grade level has its own story.

Even if there is an understanding of the subject matter being taught, teachers want more direct input from themselves so they can direct the type of material produced and have an impact on what is actually learned.

The programs appear to be more interested in the final product and not how a student gets there. The design of assignments makes a difference and should cater to individual requirements as well as the general concept.

At present, teachers are still not clear on how they can allow usage of AI if usage is limited for each student. Also, there are areas where this practice would be discouraged and that too needs clarity.

They understand how they can personally use the tech to design lessons, create videos and materials, make testing supplies and more. But the overall usage is still very new and lacks form, consistency and reliability.

So all of this is being assessed before the next season is upon us in the fall of 2025. This is particularly true of the older grades but primary teachers do not know when some of this programming is expected to be used or how.

We can then estimate that there is more testing to come and clarity as to how far we allow this form to be of assistance or thrown in the general learning pool. What it sounds like is a total overhaul of learning methods with the aim of enabling students to have a career later in the tech field or at least knowledge of how to incorporate it into business.
