At Folio, our core values—putting people first, creating clarity, taking purposeful action, honoring reflection, and celebrating success—guide everything we do. When it comes to the integration of new technology like AI, these values are more important than ever.
The rise of AI in education has sparked a wide range of reactions, from excitement about its potential to skepticism about its risks. We recently launched the Folio Member Advisory Board where we discussed what role AI plays at their schools. It is clear our members are grappling with how to incorporate AI constructively, while accounting for concerns about student integrity, data privacy, and how to prepare students for what is to come.
School’s strengths lie in the fundamental human building blocks of relationships, conversation, and the learning process, and now is the time to lean into that key differentiator. Returning to the why of the work and grounding ourselves in our values will provide the path forward.
