Advisory
AI education strategist and advisor
Jody Britten, Ph.D. advises education systems, nonprofits, foundations and policy organizations that are making system-level decisions about AI. The work starts from a simple position: AI readiness is becoming an organizational design problem, not a technology adoption problem.
The problems
What organizations bring to Jody
Interest without direction
Pilots are running and tools are in use, but there is no shared strategy, policy or way to tell what is working.
Policy that does not reach practice
A policy exists on paper. Staff, students and families are still unsure what it means for them.
Capacity that stops at early adopters
A few people are far ahead. Most are not, and professional learning has not caught up.
Decisions without evidence
Leaders are asked to scale AI before anyone has measured whether it helps the people they serve.
Products without research
EdTech and AI companies need research, evidence and responsible AI practice built into product strategy.
Pressure to move fast
Boards and funders want action. Leaders want to move without losing trust.
