The first brief from FullScale’s Rural AI Strategy Lab, synthesizing what’s emerging across rural schools adopting AI. It highlights key patterns in adoption, including early informal use, policy-practice gaps, and operational-first entry points. The brief offers a grounded view of how rural systems are approaching AI in practice and the conditions that support more coherent implementation.
This brief shares lessons from the first year of the Accelerating Adoption Network, highlighting what it takes to move technology-enabled innovations from early adoption to sustained instructional impact at scale.
This executive summary of FullScale’s (formerly operating as The Learning Accelerator) research brief, “Innovative Approaches to Learning Acceleration Within the Core of K-12 Instruction: Educator Insights into Scaling and Implementation,” highlights key findings from Mathematica’s evaluation of the Accelerating Adoption Network. Focusing on educator perspectives, this summary explores what teachers experienced on the ground while implementing and scaling 10 technology-enabled innovations designed to accelerate student learning within core instruction.

K-12 school and system leaders can survey their stakeholders (i.e., students, educators, or even other members of their wider school community, including families) to better understand the conditions at play that might support or hinder effective usage of AI in classrooms. These sample questions come from Denver Public Schools, which implemented these surveys with their educators and students at both the elementary and secondary levels.
School leaders have a strong opportunity to help address challenges related to equity, access, and validity within assessment systems for virtual learners. This resource, a brief designed specifically for virtual schools and based off of our larger white paper, Assessing Learning Anytime, Anywhere: Virtual Learning as a Launchpad Into the Future, provides insights and recommendations for school leaders to take this work forward.
