The Evidence Base on AI in K-12: A 2026 Review
Understanding the Evidence Base on AI in K-12 Education
AI tools are arriving in schools faster than research can evaluate them. Teachers are experimenting with new tools and districts are writing policies, all while students are already using AI both inside and outside the classroom.
But for many education leaders, a basic question remains: What does rigorous research actually say about how AI affects teaching and learning?
To help answer that question, we released a new report: The Evidence Base on AI in K-12: A 2026 Review. The report reviews the current research, focusing specifically on studies that convincingly estimate causal impact, meaning studies that can tell us whether an AI tool changed outcomes for students or educators.
The Challenge
Generative AI is transforming education at lightning speed, with schools and districts nationwide grappling with how to harness its power responsibly and effectively. With new technology, a fast changing market, and limited data on the effectiveness of new tools, it is difficult for K-12 system leaders to make informed decisions about AI implementation. Superintendents, state K-12 leaders, and policymakers face unprecedented challenges: eliminating bias, privacy concerns, and adapting learning models to these new capacities - all while ensuring that students, teachers, and schools benefit.
Our Solution
The Generative AI for Education Hub is the trusted source for superintendents and state/federal K-12 leaders on what works for leveraging generative AI to benefit students, schools, and learning. Schools need clear and actionable guidance to make the right decisions. We partner with school districts, policymakers, and ed tech innovators to leverage data, research effects, and bridge the gap between AI’s potential and real-world impact.
