Educators report uneven uptake of generative AI in K‑12 and higher education classrooms, citing limited professional development, unclear institutional policies and teacher hesitancy as primary barriers. Survey and webinar takeaways show teachers using AI for assessment scaffolds, translation, individualized education program drafting and lesson design, but roughly half of educators remain skeptical of AI’s net impact. At the same time, an emergent class of agentic AI tools can complete whole courses and automate student work — a development that has triggered intense faculty debate over academic integrity, learning quality and assessment redesign. Colleges and schools are now confronting a two‑front challenge: training instructors to use AI productively and drafting policies that define acceptable agent behavior and evaluation practices.
