Using AI saves teachers 'six weeks per year,' Gallup poll finds - but at what cost?
Briefly

A Gallup poll revealed that 30% of teachers are utilizing AI tools weekly, resulting in a substantial time-saving of six weeks annually. Approximately 60% of K-12 educators leverage AI mainly for lesson preparation, worksheet creation, and material personalization. The average AI user reportedly reclaims nearly six hours weekly for fostering student relationships and enhancing feedback. The study also highlighted a general agreement among teachers about AI's potential to improve accessibility for students with disabilities, with favorable opinions particularly strong among special education teachers.
"Weekly AI users report reclaiming nearly six hours per week -- equivalent to six weeks per year -- which they reinvest in more personalized instruction, deeper student feedback and better parent communication."
"57% of teachers agree that AI will improve the accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities, with 65% of special education teachers supporting this view."
