K-12 AI = nebulous chasm of nuance. Some are thrilled it's here to help. Some are petrified it's here to hurt. So, what is it?

One of my favorite IES resources are the practice guides. There are 5 guides with the research about teaching math. Given the two stop work orders I received last night (to stop work on 2 upcoming IES STEM practice guides), I'd download these now.
