  • ARISE – AI for Responsive, Inclusive School Enhancement

ARISE (AI for Responsive, Inclusive School Enhancement) is a collaborative between a team of researchers at George Mason University and local K-12 school divisions in exploring and implementing AI-enabled school improvement planning and outcomes. Objectives of This Workspace include:

Facilitate Collaboration:

  • Connect K12 leaders, researchers, and practitioners to co-produce knowledge.
  • Provide a shared space for communication, resources, and learning.
  • Provide a central hub for community members to work together on shared documents and projects.
  • Enable easy sharing of resources, research, and ideas

Test and Refine:

  • Try different apps and communication strategies to determine what works best for our community of practice.
  • Identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities to improve the workflow.

Support Knowledge Sharing:

  • Gather and organize evidence-based interventions, research findings, and useful prompts into accessible formats.
  • Create a library of resources and examples for members to use and contribute to.
