Two CHAIS faculty members, Thema Monroe-White and Ziyu Yao, are part of a George Mason University Grand Challenge Initiative (GCI) winning team developing the Teaching Initiative for Digital Education through AI (Teaching IDE-AI).
This project creates a model for responsible and ethical AI integration in the classroom to help prepare teachers who will then shape AI-ready PK–12 students across Virginia and the nation. By bringing together experts in education and technology, the initiative will create practical tools, develop training for faculty, and design easy-to-use AI literacy resources that help educators guide students in a rapidly changing world.
