Educational Testing Service debuted Futurenav Adapt AI, a 30‑minute, scenario-based assessment designed to gauge K‑12 teachers' competence in recognizing, evaluating, and using generative AI in classrooms. The test measures ethical navigation, tool evaluation, and practical classroom use across three tasks and is positioned as a diagnostic for teacher preparation and professional development. Forty‑six states currently use ETS’s Praxis exams for licensure; ETS said the new AI assessment is not yet a licensure instrument but could inform future certification requirements. Vince Dean of ETS stressed the demand for clearer guidance as districts adopt AI tools and struggle to train educators effectively. What happened: a national testing provider launched an AI competency measure for teachers. Who’s involved: ETS, state licensure authorities, teacher-preparation programs. Why it matters: the tool could shape how teacher preparation and PD incorporate AI literacy and influence state certification conversations.
