About this episode

This episode examines how Wichita Public Schools is preparing its educators for the rapidly evolving age of generative AI through deliberate policy development and clear instructional guidelines. Guest Katelyn Schoenhofer, the district’s AI Specialist, explains how the organization built a positive culture around AI use by establishing legal policy, creating practical guidance for instructors, and helping staff view generative AI as a responsible and effective tool. She also discusses why educators should focus on the learning process behind student work—rather than solely the final product—when integrating AI into instruction. As part one of a two-episode series, this discussion sets the stage for the next episode focused on classroom-level use.
