Support for grant application: AI and the Reconfiguration of Teaching.

The Project

AI is shaping teaching practice in schools in the UK. While recent Department for Education (DfE) policy initiatives have emphasised the benefits of technology for teaching workloads and institutional efficiency, evidence from other contexts suggests a much more complex picture. Grant writing support from the Social Science Division will enable project proposal development to engage with these important and emerging themes.
