The State of AI in U.S. K-12 Education 2025
• Frequency of AI use: Always (9%), Often (34%), Sometimes (36%), Rarely (14%), Never (7%) • The percentage of teachers who use “always” and “often” nearly doubled compared to last year • Popular AI tools: ChatGPT (73%), Magic School AI (40%), Microsoft Copilot (38%), Google Gemini (32%), Canva (23%) • Other tools mentioned: Brisk, Claude.ai, Perplexity, SchoolAI, Snorkl , NotebookLM • AI benefits perceived by teachers: reduced administrative work time (70%), personalized learning (47%), increased student engagement (37%) • 64% of teachers now discuss AI with students (up from 42% last year) • Teacher AI user types: Pragmatic users (22%), AI enthusiasts (21%), and careful observers (40%) The use of AI tools in K-12 education in the United States is growing rapidly. According to Carnegie Learning’s “The State of AI in Education 2025” report, a survey of more than 550 teachers found that the percentage of teachers who use AI “always” or “often” nearly doubled over the past year. ChatGPT remains the most dominant AI tool with 73% usage, but other platforms are also seeing significant adoption, including Magic School AI (40%), Microsoft Copilot (38%), and Google Gemini (32%). There are also a number of other tools being used in education, including Brisk, Claude.ai, Perplexity, SchoolAI, Snorkl , and NotebookLM. The top benefits teachers cite from AI are reduced administrative time (70%), personalized learning experiences (47%), and increased student engagement (37%)—rankings that remain the same as last year. Analyzing teachers’ attitudes toward AI, six user profiles were identified: pragmatic users (22%), AI enthusiasts (21%), cautious observers (40%), hopeful onlookers (12%), and traditionalists (4%). A particularly notable change is the significant increase in the percentage of teachers discussing AI with students, from 42% last year to 64% this year. Three out of five teachers are talking to students about appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI. The webinar accompanying the report discussed key issues surrounding AI adoption by teachers, including the need for teachers to learn AI collaboratively, the potential for AI to be used as a “brainstorming companion,” and the importance of recognizing that AI provides answers based on probabilities rather than facts. There was also a cautionary tale about data usage, where “free services become the product,” and an interesting finding from a Stanford study that found that student cheating rates remain consistent over time despite the introduction of AI. While this report focuses on teachers in 49 U.S. states, it is worth comparing it to see whether similar changes are occurring in education settings around the world.

AI Scientist-v2 Publishes First Peer-Reviewed Academic Paper
Key Summary • Papers generated by AI Scientist-v2 passed peer review process at ICLR 2025 workshop • The first official academic paper generated entirely by AI without human intervention • 1 out of 3 submitted papers passed (average score 6.33, top 45%) • Joint research by the University of British Columbia, the University of Oxford, and Sakana AI • Paper title: “Compositional Regularization: Unexpected Obstacles in Enhancing Neural Network Generalization” A new era of scientific research opened by AI scientists Breakthrough achievement, academic recognition of AI-generated paper On March 12, 2025, a historic event occurred in the scientific community. A paper generated by AI Scientist-v2 passed the peer-review process at the ICLR, a top AI conference workshop. This was the first fully AI-generated paper to pass the same verification process as human scientists, and was a major milestone that showed the changing way scientific research is done. A thorough evaluation process The research team worked with the ICLR workshop organizing committee to submit three AI-generated papers. The referees were aware that some of the papers could have been generated by AI (three out of 43), but they were not aware that the specific papers they were evaluating were AI-generated. Most importantly, AI Scientist-v2 performed all the steps independently. From formulating scientific hypotheses to designing experiments, writing code, running experiments, analyzing data, visualizing data, and writing the paper, the AI completed all the steps. The human researchers simply presented a broad research topic and selected which papers to submit. Two of the three papers submitted did not meet the passing criteria, but the paper titled “Compositional Regularization: Unexpected Obstacles in Enhancing Neural Network Generalization” passed with an average score of 6.33, which was higher than many of the human-written papers accepted at the workshop. The importance of transparency and ethical guidelines The research team prioritized transparency throughout the entire process of this experiment. It was conducted in full cooperation with ICLR leadership and the workshop organizing committee, and received IRB approval from the University of British Columbia. In addition, as per the prior agreement, it was decided that even if the AI-generated paper passed the evaluation, it would be withdrawn before publication, as there is still no consensus in the scientific community on whether AI-generated research should be published in traditional academic journals. Current limitations and future prospects According to the research team's own evaluation, all three papers are not yet at the level of the ICLR main conference. It should be noted that the workshop (60-70% acceptance rate) has a lower entry barrier than the main conference (20-30% acceptance rate). However, this is only the beginning. AI scientists are based on the latest large-scale language models, and it is expected that they will improve as the base models advance. The research team predicts that in the future, AI will be able to produce papers that surpass human levels. Ultimately, what matters is not how AI science compares to human science, but how AI discoveries contribute to human prosperity, such as curing diseases or expanding knowledge of the laws of the universe. This groundbreaking research, conducted in collaboration with Cong Lu and Jeff Clune of the University of British Columbia, Chris Lu and Jakob Foerster of the University of Oxford, and Sakana AI, provides an important example of how AI will transform the way we conduct scientific research. /Nine

Before the start of the school year, what do teachers in other countries do? Preparing for the new school year in the US, Japan, UK, and China
US : Characterized by personal accountability and technology use - teachers spend an average of $500+ per year out of pocket, design collaborative desks and learning corners, and use AI-based lesson planning tools Japan : Organizational culture and emphasis on detailed procedures - morning staff meeting (chorei), new teachers are given a 58-page behavior manual, and detailed classroom management guidelines are followed. UK : Building an inclusive education environment - Individual education plans for students with SEN (Special Educational Needs), clear three-tier decision-making system, time limits for business meetings China : Technology integration and organizational systems - WeChat parent group operation, AI-based class evaluation, textbook analysis and mentoring systemization, blockchain grade management United States: Personal Responsibility and Creative Autonomy American teachers have a high degree of autonomy and personal responsibility, from organizing classroom environments to preparing teaching materials. Texas and Arizona teachers spend an average of $500-$600 out of their own pockets on school supplies, and they often use crowdfunding to make up for budget shortfalls. This personal burden can be seen as a direct result of the cuts in public education budgets following the 2008 financial crisis. In classroom preparation, encourage collaborative learning through circular or U-shaped desk arrangements, and create dedicated spaces for reading or scientific inquiry. On the first day of school, use strategies to reduce anxiety by pre-placing simple activities on the desks that students can do as soon as they arrive. In curriculum development, American teachers design lessons that align with state-specific educational standards such as Common Core, and 72% of schools use ChatGPT-based lesson planners. Classroom rules are made clear with visual posters, such as restroom signage and raising hands when asking questions. As the citizen-led 'Teacher Support' movement spreads, there is a movement of social solidarity, such as raising $1.3 million through crowdfunding, but at the same time, there is a contradiction in that the perception that "education is the responsibility of parents" makes it difficult to increase the budget. Japan: Organizational culture and detailed procedures Japanese teachers’ preparation for the new school year is characterized by organizational culture and detailed procedures. At one Osaka junior high school, new teachers are given a 58-page “April Behavior Manual,” which includes detailed instructions for each class period. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s “Three Essential Preparations for New Teachers” lists the preparation of teaching materials for midterms, the establishment of a network of fellow teachers, and the writing of scenarios for parent-teacher consultations as key tasks. At the 'chorei' held at 7:30 every morning, the key schedule for each grade is briefed in 10 minutes. New teachers receive mentoring through 1:1 desk assignments with teachers with 10 years of experience, and must conduct class demonstrations at least three times. For the management of students' personal belongings, name tags (including pencils and water bottles) are mandatory, and 70% of schools will conduct home visits until April 10 to connect with parents. The Hiroshima Prefectural Board of Education's "40 Rules for Classroom Management" provides detailed guidance on everything from how to use the blackboard to how to manage students' personal belongings. In particular, the "3-day classroom management simulation" program is designed to provide new teachers with hands-on experience in creating an actual classroom atmosphere. In 2024, the Gifu City Board of Education will introduce a 16-day consecutive summer vacation and school closure system to guarantee teachers mandatory vacation, and will also attempt to improve work efficiency, such as reducing grading time by 63% with an AI grading system. UK: Inclusive education and professional development Teachers in the UK focus on building inclusive learning environments and professional development. At one Manchester secondary school, the SEN coordinator draws up an individual education plan (IEP) six weeks before the start of the school year, and each disabled student is given an additional budget of £2,400 per year, and one-to-one meetings with a teaching assistant are mandatory. The teacher qualification process is rigorous, requiring GCSE English and Maths exams, and a year of teaching experience to achieve Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). A postgraduate education program in Birmingham breaks down lesson plan verification into seven stages, with an average of 3.8 feedback cycles for each lesson plan. In the division of work, the three-tier decision-making system of the headteacher, vice-principal, and key stage leader is clearly distinguished, and a middle school in Liverpool limits teacher meeting time to 4 hours and 30 minutes per week and operates a 'strict agenda' system in which all meetings only discuss pre-registered agenda items. Pressure from the National Association of State Education Workers (NASUWT) has led to overtime pay rising to £28 an hour from 2024, and a 2024 report from the London Department for Education found that attainment for pupils receiving SEN support had improved by 34 per cent.

The Power of Words: Feedback Beyond “Good Job” 🚀
Key points ✨ Simple Praise Stops Growth - Specific Feedback Increases Student Growth by 59% The first 2-3 pieces of feedback are crucial - get to the point first Even a mini conversation once a week is enough - 2-3 minutes of effective communication makes a difference Co-creation is key - conversation is more effective than one-sided advice Feedback, think of it this way 💡 Why Simple Praise Is Dangerous Saying "good job" feels good, but it doesn't tell students what they actually did well or what to do next. Instead, saying "I think you did a good job using data to support your argument in this section. I think next time you should include opposing views to make your essay more balanced," will help students clearly see their strengths and areas for improvement. The power of first impressions Our brains remember the first information they receive best. Long-winded feedback can distract from the main point. It is more effective to give students one or two points that they can put into practice right away. The change that conversation creates One-sided advice gets in the way and quickly disappears. Asking, “What did you think about this part?” allows students to organize their thoughts and find solutions on their own. Balance between emotions and growth If you just say, "This part is disappointing," you may lose motivation. Instead, if you say, "You've done well so far. I think it would be better if you added this part to it," students will be able to move forward without losing confidence. Real-world feedback examples 👀 Show me specifically ❌ "I'm not good at math." ✅ "You did a good job setting up the equation. Let's solve it while checking the coefficients of the quadratic terms." Provide direction for growth ❌ "Your writing has improved a lot!" ✅ "The argument and evidence are well connected. Next time, let's make the first sentence of each paragraph stronger." Feedback with AI tools 💻 Utilization of Snorkl Snorkl analyzes students' spoken responses and provides immediate feedback. Expand students' thinking by asking questions like, "Can you elaborate on this concept?" or "Can you give me another example?" Features of Redmenta

AI Chatbots for Education, I Can't Recommend Them Anymore
AI platform safety controversy begins in UK education sector 📌 Raising issues from education experts Student crisis detected but not localized response Absence of real-time teacher notification system Falls short of government safety guidelines Corporate commitments to improvement and concerns from the field The gap between government guidelines and reality The UK Department for Education’s recently published AI product safety guidelines set a new standard for the use of AI in education, with teacher monitoring of chatbot inputs and outputs being a key requirement. An education expert tested a widely used AI education platform against these criteria. “At first, it was positive, as teachers could monitor conversations between students and AI. But when we tested it in a real-world crisis situation, serious problems were revealed.” Fatal flaw in crisis response The test involved a scenario in which a student complained of loneliness and suffered from bullying. "The AI recognized that there was a crisis, but it gave the British student the US emergency number, and it didn't relay that to the teacher. It only showed a little warning icon next to the student's name when a life-threatening situation was detected, and even that couldn't be confirmed without going into the dashboard." This does not meet the criteria for “detection of potential risk signals and notification to field managers” required by the Department of Education guidelines. Voices from the classroom Field teachers point out the real dangers of this problem. “Many students already view AI as their personal counselors, especially those with limited access to AI at home, and use school platforms to engage in deeper conversations. Poor safeguards can put these vulnerable students at greater risk.” Another teacher shared the results of her own testing. "In conversations about depression and bullying, some warnings worked, but they still directed people to non-localized contacts. Advice that simply says, 'Talk to a trusted adult' doesn't really help." Corporate response and distrust in the field The company promised to fix the problem.

Will Personalized Education Improve Grades? Three Years of Unexpected Study Finds
Key takeaways: Comparative study of traditional and customized classrooms 405 elementary school students (200 customized, 205 traditional) Measuring Achievement Through Math/Reading Skills Assessments A study of teaching methods and professional development through interviews with 16 teachers Conducting multivariate analysis considering variables such as gender and age New challenges in education Modern education is being called upon to make innovative changes in a rapidly changing society. Personalized learning is gaining attention as the core of this change, and it suggests an educational method that takes into account the interests and learning speed of each student. But is this new approach actually effective in improving student achievement? To answer this question, an interesting study was conducted in three school districts in western Kentucky. Students’ math and reading skills were tracked for three years using the Renaissance Star assessment . A total of 405 elementary school students participated, 200 in personalized learning classrooms and 205 in traditional classrooms. A unique approach to personalized learning In personalized learning classrooms, students set their own learning goals and work at their own pace . Teachers use innovative teaching methods such as multisensory strategies, project-based learning, and guided reading , and incorporate flexible space layouts and cutting-edge technology. Teachers developed individual learning plans for students and provided regular feedback. They also provided support tailored to each student’s needs through small group activities and individual instruction . Unexpected research results Contrary to expectations, the MANOVA and MANCOVA analyses did not find any statistically significant differences in achievement between personalized learning and traditional learning. The results remained the same even when variables such as gender and age were taken into account. However, what is noteworthy is that consistent student growth was observed in both classroom types. In the 16 teacher interviews, teachers evaluated professional development opportunities as contributing significantly to the quality of education. Implications for future education: Application in the educational field: A clear vision and systematic plan are needed when introducing personalized learning. Ongoing support for teacher professional development is essential Effective integration of diverse teaching methods contributes to student growth. Long-term research is needed to verify the effectiveness of the program.

"Computer-based diplomas instead of classes?" - A groundbreaking educational experiment in Britain 25 years ago
• An innovative online school for students who are excluded from traditional education • Close education system with one teacher per four students • Thousands of successful graduates over 11 years since 1997 • Social cost savings of £250,000 per student • Combination of innovative educational philosophy and cutting-edge technology • Ended in 2009 due to philosophical differences with management A challenging proposal from a professor In 1997, in a conference room of the British government’s Education Select Committee, Professor Stephen Heppell made what was then a radical proposal: “If we give 100 underachieving students the right technology, we can bring out their potential.” This statement caught the attention of the Department for Education officials and soon became the starting point for an innovative project called ‘Notschool.net’. A new type of school is born Notschool.net was a completely new form of education system that was different from traditional school education. The main target group was school refusals, school phobia, expelled students, and long-term hospitalized children. The most notable feature was the close education of one teacher per four students. Utilization of cutting-edge technology at the time In the late 1990s, before the Internet became widespread, Notschool.net boldly adopted the latest technology. Each student was provided with ISDN high-speed Internet, a video camera, and high-quality audio equipment, creating a learning environment free from time and space constraints. Innovative educational philosophy This project pursued a completely new educational philosophy, not just a simple online class. It called the students 'researchers' and focused on improving their self-esteem. The curriculum was also diverse, from literacy and math to science, art, and technology, and in particular, it actively utilized multimedia, moving away from text-centered classes. Amazing achievements Over the 11 years of operation, thousands of students have successfully re-engaged in education. Many have gone on to university or find employment, and government research has shown that each student saves the public around £250,000. A regretful ending In 2009, Notschool.net was discontinued due to differences in educational philosophy between the founders and the Inclusion Trust, the operating entity. Another reason was that the initially innovative technologies were no longer the optimal solution over time. Meaning for the present Twenty-five years later, Notschool.net’s experiment still poses important questions for us. With the emergence of new technologies such as AI and the metaverse, how can we leverage these technologies to realize the essential value of education? How can we leverage technology to bring out the potential of all learners and expand educational opportunities? Notschool.net’s experiment provided one answer to these questions, and their experience remains a meaningful reference for us as we prepare for the future of education.

Korea National University of Education and ISTE+ASCD Sign Global Partnership for Digital Education Innovation
Global cooperation for digital innovation in Korean education is in full swing. Korea National University of Education announced on the 24th that it will pursue a large-scale project for digital education innovation in Korean schools together with ISTE+ASCD, the world’s largest non-profit educational innovation organization. This collaboration is part of the Korean Ministry of Education’s digital education introduction plan, which will see more than 9,000 Korean educators strengthen their educational technology utilization capabilities through ISTE standards over the next three years. The project will begin with Korean translation and localization of ISTE standards, and will include operating educator training programs and ISTE certification courses for outstanding teachers. The ISTE Standards are a comprehensive framework for the use of educational technology that is currently being adopted by every state in the United States and many countries. The standards provide essential competencies for educators to design effective and equitable learning experiences. “This partnership marks a significant turning point in transforming digital learning in Korea,” said Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE+ASCD. “ISTE standards will lay the foundation for providing innovative and sustainable learning experiences to Korean teachers and students.” At the signing ceremony held in Seoul on the 17th, CEO Richard Coolata and President Cha Woo-kyu of Korea National University of Education attended and signed the agreement, and members of the Korean edutech industry were also present. ISTE+ASCD is a nonprofit organization specializing in educational innovation established by the merger of ISTE and ASCD in 2023. It currently supports more than 1 million educators across the United States and in over 100 countries, and carries out various activities such as innovative educational conferences, professional certification programs, educator community operation, and educational innovation research.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
