AI Innovation Index

Launched in September 2025, this first-of-its-kind initiative positions school systems to 1) gauge their AI innovation progress vs peers nationally and 2) identify top-performing peers to learn from.

In participating schools systems, twice per year C-suite leaders report progress against a set of key leadership actions while staff and students complete 30-second pulse surveys, with no student PII collected. C-suite leaders and AI task forces then gain access to a wide range of analytics and resources to support data-driven AI innovation progress-monitoring and planning.
