EdWeek’s reporting and related quizzes probe how districts are adapting courses and teacher training to equip students with AI‑relevant skills. Practical sessions backed by NCCER and other providers are pushing classroom innovations to streamline instruction, personalize learning and raise credential completion rates — a focus that will shape pipelines into community colleges, technical programs and industry apprenticeships.
