Determine the scope of educational program offerings and prepare drafts of program schedules and descriptions to estimate staffing and facility requirements.

AI: Partial - AI can generate program scope options, draft schedules, and estimate staffing/facility needs from data, but final determinations require human judgment about local context, priorities, and tradeoffs.

Determine allocations of funds for staff, supplies, materials, and equipment and authorize purchases.

AI: Partial - AI can optimize budgets, forecast expenditures, and automate procurement workflows, but authorization, fiduciary responsibility, and complex tradeoffs in fund allocation still demand human decision-making.

Direct and coordinate activities of teachers or administrators at daycare centers, schools, public agencies, or institutions.

Plan, direct, and monitor instructional methods and content of educational, vocational, or student activity programs.

AI: Partial - AI can design, recommend, and monitor instructional methods and content using data-driven insights, but final program direction and pedagogical judgement require human leadership and contextual adaptation.

Review and interpret government codes and develop procedures to meet codes and to ensure facility safety, security, and maintenance.

AI: Partial - By 2025 AI can parse and interpret government codes and draft procedures to meet them, but site-specific safety/security decisions, liability, and on‑the‑ground validation require human oversight.

Review and evaluate new and current programs to determine their efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance with state, local, and federal regulations and recommend any necessary modifications.

AI: Partial - AI can analyze program data and regulatory texts and propose modifications, yet holistic evaluation of effectiveness and stakeholder/contextual judgment still needs human decision-making.

Prepare and submit budget requests or grant proposals to solicit program funding.

AI: Partial - AI can draft strong budget requests and grant proposals and optimize them for funders, but final approvals, signatures, and some submission processes typically require humans.

Organize and direct committees of specialists, volunteers, and staff to provide technical and advisory assistance for programs.
