A Gallup and Walton Family Foundation poll found 6 in 10 US teachers in K-12
public schools used AI tools for work during the past school year, with
higher adoption rates among high school educators and early-career teachers.
The survey of more than 2,000 teachers nationwide conducted in April found
that those using AI tools weekly estimate saving about six hours per week.
About 8 in 10 teachers using AI tools report time savings on creating
worksheets, assessments, quizzes and administrative work. About 6 in 10 said
AI improves their work quality when modifying student materials or providing
feedback. However, approximately half of teachers worry student AI use will
diminish teens' critical thinking abilities and independent problem-solving
persistence.
