Most notably, reading and math achievement remain below pre-pandemic levels, attributed to rising mental health needs, chronic absenteeism, and widening opportunity gaps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Need for a New Revolution:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe call for a new education revolution underscores the necessity to prepare students for an AI-driven future, positioning AI as a tool to enhance research, problem-solving, and individualized learning.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Importance of AI Literacy:<\/strong><br \/>\nA fundamental challenge lies in the need for AI literacy. Students, especially those from underserved communities, must develop these skills to be on par with those who utilize the technology effectively.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Involving Students in AI Policy:<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is a push to ensure that students have a voice in shaping AI&#8217;s role in education. AASA and Day of AI are launching a fellowship to involve both students and school leaders in forming a National AI Policy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>National Impact:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe student-developed policy aims to influence real-world decisions and guidelines about AI in classrooms nationwide through a collaborative effort with MIT experts and superintendents. This initiative highlights the role of student voices in the future of education.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students Are Digital Natives.
