How Will AI Show Up in the Classroom This Year?

Teach For America Greater Chicago –Northwest Indiana was featured on NBC 5 Chicago's Back to School coverage, spotlighting the organization's AI focused training for educators. Senior Managing Director of Program Jetaun Whittlesey explained TFA’s approach for teacher training: “We are not hoping that AI will replace our educators. We are hoping that it helps them spend more time with children."

The segment highlighted TFA alongside resources like Claude for Teachers and Google AI Workshops as part of a growing set of tools helping Chicago area teachers integrate AI thoughtfully into instruction.
