This page helps participants understand the study before opening the official survey. Responses are collected only in the linked Microsoft Form.
Study Overview
This study examines how K-12 educators are navigating generative AI in teaching and learning. The survey asks about student thinking, assessment design, classroom practice, school leadership, district policy, and the conditions that help educators preserve meaningful learning.
Participation is voluntary. The landing page does not collect survey answers, names, emails, or device information.
Who Should Participate
Eligibility: You must be 18 or older and currently work in a K-12 school or district. Employees of Beach Park CCSD 3 are not eligible.
Survey Link
The survey takes about 10 to 12 minutes. Most items are rating scales, a few are open-ended, and some appear only for certain roles. You may skip any question. A separate optional form at the end collects an email address only, for people who want to be contacted about an interview. That form is not part of the anonymous survey.
The anonymous survey is not open. It will be linked here only after the approved form is live and its anonymity settings are documented.
The survey form will ask participants to identify the role or perspective that best fits their professional work.
Study Topics
How generative AI is affecting classroom practice, assignments, assessment, and student learning.
What educators and leaders are observing, trying, questioning, and needing in their professional settings.
How policies, professional learning, technology access, and organizational conditions shape AI use.
