- Only 18% of teachers receive formal guidance from administrators on AI use, while 48% get informal guidance and 34% receive none.
- Formal AI guidance is rare across tasks; for some, like one-on-one instruction (69%) and grading (58%), most teachers have no guidance.
- Guidance often neither encourages nor discourages AI use, with encouragement most common for instructional preparation tasks.
- Teachers in higher-income schools are more likely to receive guidance, especially informal, compared to those in higher-need schools.
- Formal policies are more likely to encourage AI use than informal guidance, but most teachers navigate AI without clear support.
