## Resource

Jeremy Singer, president of the ⁠College Board⁠, is joined by Jennie Magiera, Google’s Global Head of Education Impact, to discuss the transformative role of AI in schools. Magiera, who began her career as a math teacher and tech skeptic at Chicago Public Schools, explains her shift toward viewing technology as a powerful vehicle for educational equity when it is used to addressspecific instructional challenges. The discussion highlights ⁠LearnLM⁠, Google’s family of AI models fine-tuned specifically for education and grounded in five core learning science principles: active learning, managing cognitive load, adapting to learners, stimulating curiosity, and deepening metacognition. Magiera shares ⁠a study⁠ showing that students who used LearnLM for short tutoring sessions experienced a 5.5% performance boost on novel topics compared to those working with human tutors alone. ⁠A six-month Northern Ireland pilot⁠ further demonstrates AI's impact, with teachers reporting an average of 10 hours saved per week on administrative tasks like lesson planning, risk assessments, and parent outreach. This efficiency provides critical breathing room for educators, helping to reduce stress and prevent burnout while allowing them to reinvest time into professional learning and deeper student engagement. The episode concludes with an exploration of durable skills like empathy and critical thinking, which Magiera argues will only increase in importance as AI handles more routine technical tasks.
