Kristen DiCerbo - Schools of Thought Book

Pre-Order Today!

AI can help students learn — or help them stop thinking. This book asks: how can AI actually improve learning outcomes?

Drawing on my background as an educational psychologist, two decades building education technology, and my role helping create Khanmigo, I argue that AI's impact depends entirely on deliberate human choices, not on the power of the technology itself.

The book follows an arc from defining the problems we're trying to solve through solution design and selection, implementation, and long-term sustainability.

The book is written for three audiences: school and district leaders making adoption decisions under real constraints, education technology developers building AI-powered learning tools, and researchers studying how technology gets implemented in schools. Sal Khan contributes the foreword.
