Teacher Training, Two Playbooks
From Rhode Island to NYC, states steer AI with PD and pilots. China mandates hours and competencies. Two playbooks. Same classroom stakes.
Part III of the AI in school series.
Rhode Island says the quiet part out loud. “Artificial intelligence is not the future for our schools – it’s the present,” Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green announces, pairing that posture with an explicit promise of “implementation support and professional learning opportunities” plus an AI advisory group to keep the work moving (Rhode Island Department of Education, 2025).
