Welcome Back!

A new school year means new students, new questions, and of course, another year of The AI Chronicles.

This newsletter began as a place for the GCSD community to think together about AI's impact on teaching, learning, creativity, ethics, and the work of schools.

This year, we begin with a question that is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid: If AI is changing how students work, does it also need to change how we assess what they know?

Our September edition explores that question, including our recent NPR/WXXI conversation on Connections with Evan Dawson and an important student perspective on the future of assessment. 

I was especially glad to be joined by Lily Tym, one of our students, whose final paper from our AI course was shared in the final edition of The AI Chronicles last spring. Her perspective is an important reminder that we reconsider assessment in the age of AI, students need to be part of that conversation as well.
