Conversations with AI EdTech Leaders

AI-powered tools are quickly moving into K–12 classrooms, and the range of available products is vast and changing day to day.

Through an instructional lens, we are committed to keeping up with what’s out there, understanding how all these products work, what they’re designed to do, and the early results they’re getting.

Let’s learn together.

What Is the AI in Action Learning Tour?

Instruction Partners is mapping the landscape of student-facing AI tools—including observing products in classrooms, interviewing the educators using them, and understanding the underlying technology—to build a grounded, practitioner-informed point of view about how AI can best improve student learning outcomes.

We wanted to start at the source: the developers who built these tools. Our CEO, Emily Freitag, is sitting down with edtech leaders designing student-facing AI instructional products to understand what problems they’re trying to solve, how their products work in classrooms, and what they’re still figuring out.

In each video, we explore:

What problem the product is designed to solve—for students and for teachers

What learning actually looks like when a student uses it

How (or whether) the product adapts over time to individual students and classrooms

What great implementation looks like—and what gets in the way

What outcomes developers are seeing, and how they're measuring impact

These videos are not endorsements; they are learning conversations, intended to help us all understand the range of instructional jobs developers are building products to do.

New conversations added monthly. Sign up below to stay informed.

Where We're Headed

The developer interviews are just the beginning. As always, we’ll share what we’re learning along the way. Sign up for our mailing list to follow along.

We will be sharing:

Product interviews
Blogs and papers on the trends across products and what it may mean for instruction
A website with product specific information and instructional considerations
