OverviewThe integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools is reshaping the role of teachers, causing new opportunities and challenges in the classroom. As AI technologies become integrated into educational tools and curricula, teachers are positioned as academic leaders expected to guide students in navigating the ethical and practical implications of AI. Teachers' perspectives on AI integration vary, with some embracing it as a powerful tool to personalize learning, enhance student engagement, and streamline administrative tasks, while others express concerns about its potential to undermine human connection and equity in education. Understanding teachers' roles in this landscape is essential for ensuring AI is used to complement traditional pedagogies, support diverse learning needs, and foster critical thinking in students. Teachers' Roles and Perspectives on AI Integration in Schools explores the role of academic leaders in the utilization of AI in education. It examines the various tools used by educators to assist students in intelligent technology literacy, and the challenges associated with AI innovations. This book covers topics such as curriculum design, education technology, and academic leadership, and is a useful resource for academicians, educators, computer engineers, scientists, and researchers.
