We need educational leaders in Nebraska to put the greater good of our children, in the form of policy and decision-making, over their personal preferences.
I would work closely with local school districts to ensure adequate safeguards are in place while allowing our children to explore the technology of the future. AI controls are necessary to ensure that our children are actually engaging and understanding the content they are being asked to learn. It is important to note that AI can be used to address then more transactional issues, in any environment, freeing up humans for more human interaction. For example, AI can be used to augment the grading process and other administrative tasks so more time can be spent directly focusing on our children. However, and especially when it comes to our children, we have to make sure learning isn't compromised.
Any process that is reviewing curriculum has to include stakeholders, which would mean listening to teachers, administrators, students, and their families and caregivers. Finding out what's working and what's not working is critical to improving the curriculum. However, we also need to utilize a data-driven approach to the way the State Board of Education makes decisions. Any review of curriculum would need to balance these two areas to find what needs to change and what's already working best for Nebraska's children.
