At the 2026 ISTE conference, Google.org announced new funding for three long-term partners - aiEDU, ISTE, and Renaissance Philanthropy - to help K-12 educators work with AI while keeping the teacher-student relationship central. The money backs AI readiness planning, AI-informed assessments, and a push to rethink how schools measure student growth.

AI readiness strategies for districts

aiEDU will co-develop AI readiness strategies with leaders of high-need K-12 districts and build open-source blueprints that other districts can follow. The program builds on a model that has already reached more than 48,000 educators and nearly two million students across the country.

AI-informed assessments

ISTE will use the funding to run a field study, host a summit, and publish an insights report on AI-informed assessments. The goal is to save educators time and advance personalized student growth through better measurement tools.

Reimagining assessment

Renaissance Philanthropy is supporting the Reimagining Assessment initiative, which will launch an open call this September. A request for information is also open now for input from educators and researchers.

Why this matters for educators

These projects give districts and teachers free, research-backed frameworks for using AI in ways that save time and personalize learning without losing the human connection. For individual teachers, building AI literacy starts with focused training, and structured pathways like an AI Learning Path for Teachers offer a practical starting point.
