[Ailist] AI In Schools

[Lesley Lahaye]

To:  Marge Schiller

Hello from Larry Espe and Lesley Lahaye, school district  
administrators in British Columbia, Canada. We are very interested in  
the use of AI as a framework for systems change in public education.  
We are working on a joint dissertation with the Taos Tilburg PhD  
program, on this topic. Our work has involved an action research  
project which seeks to engage the voices of multiple stake holders in  
shaping the future of schools in our district. We have implemented a  
formal AI process in our community which has resulted in the  
formation of action teams to continue work on initiatives brought  
forward at our Summit. These initiatives have the potential to lead  
to both incremental and transformational change. We are also tracking  
instances of improvisational application of AI principles in the work  
of teachers and administrators. We are very interested in the  
possibility of a strength focussed approaches manual for use in  
schools. We would like to talk more about this kind of a resource.
