Commissioner's Monday Message - June 17, 2024 Commissioner's Monday Message - June 17, 2024 Kentucky Department of Education sent this bulletin at 06/17/2024 03:36 PM EDT Commissioner's Monday Message Things are always changing in this industry, and it is our job to keep up with the new technologies and continue learning so that we can teach our students and staff to the best of our abilities.
Although Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a little while, it has become a really hot topic recently in the education space. Some familiar platforms you may already be using like Microsoft, Google and Adobe have some AI program opportunities. Although everything comes with both positives and negatives, we can’t ignore these technological advances.
I encourage you to embrace the good things about AI while being responsible with its uses within the classroom. There are several aspects of AI to look out for from a school administrator's perspective. As your district explores the use of AI, please continue to safeguard appropriately the sensitive information that you handle in your district every day.
Take extra caution to not share protected or sensitive information to an AI that could use or share that data with unauthorized persons in the future. Even though AI can make the process of creating something quick and easy, it is important not to let the program operate autonomously. AI is best used when there is still the element of human review after generating a work product through AI.
We are the fifth state to release an Artificial Intelligence Guidance Brief , which is a living document that the Kentucky Department of Education, Office of Education Technology will continue to update as they learn more about AI. Using this guidance as a resource, you can find numerous sections that encourage educators to use AI as a resource, such as the purpose, definition and incorporating principles.

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
