Generative AI in K-12 Classrooms: Midyear Report on Teacher Use
A report released in the middle of the year regarding generative AI in K-12 education, created by Colleague AI in collaboration with the University of Washington, examines how educators utilized Colleague AI in 12 school districts across Washington State between September 1 and December 31, 2025. These districts range in enrollment from a few thousand to thirty thousand students and encompass rural, suburban, and urban environments. Due to the fact that only a portion of the districts submitted administrative data, the conclusions connecting teacher usage to student demographics remain tentative.
