AI in Professional Development: What It Means for Schools

AI in Professional Development: What It Means for Schools

By Derek Skaggs · Sep 14, 2025 · 1 min read

AI is everywhere in education conversations. But what does it really mean for teacher professional development?

The Promise of AI in PD

  • Personalization: Teachers get recommendations based on their practice and goals.
  • 24/7 coaching: AI can answer questions or provide resources instantly.
  • Data insights: School leaders see patterns and needs across staff.

What AI Won’t Do

It won’t replace human mentors or leaders. Instead, it acts as a companion—helping teachers practice, reflect, and improve between sessions.

A New Era of PD

Imagine a teacher asking:
"How can I better engage reluctant readers?"
Instead of waiting weeks for a workshop, they get immediate strategies, curated resources, and next steps—powered by AI.

That’s the shift: PD that’s always available, always relevant.
