Abstract

This 2025 Michigan Virtual study of over 500 educators provides an updated look at attitudes toward AI in K-12 education. Use of AI continues to grow rapidly, with teachers increasingly adopting tools for tasks like lesson planning and student support, even as trust levels lag behind administrators. District policies and visions are beginning to take shape, though progress remains uneven and many schools are still in early stages. Educators see strong potential in AI for improving instruction and accessibility, but barriers such as limited time, training, and policy clarity persist. While skepticism remains among a subset of educators, most expect AI to play a significant role in education within the next five years, underscoring the need for ongoing professional development, trust-building, and thoughtful guidance.
