Develop instructional materials to be used by educators and instructors.

AI: Fully automatable - Generative AI can produce high-quality lesson plans and instructional materials tailored to standards and learners, enabling full automation of material development with human review optional.

Research, evaluate, and prepare recommendations on curricula, instructional methods, and materials for school systems.

AI: Fully automatable - AI can perform literature reviews, analyze data, and generate evidence-based curriculum recommendations at scale, making it capable of fully carrying out this research-and-recommendation task.

Develop tests, questionnaires, and procedures that measure the effectiveness of curricula and use these tools to determine whether program objectives are being met.

AI: Fully automatable - AI can design assessments, run psychometric analyses, and report on curriculum effectiveness to determine objective attainment, enabling full automation of test development and evaluation workflows.

Develop classroom-based and distance learning training courses, using needs assessments and skill level analyses.

AI: Fully automatable - Advanced AI can conduct needs assessments, analyze skill levels, and generate aligned classroom and distance learning course designs and materials end‑to‑end, enabling full development workflows with routine human review.

Observe work of teaching staff to evaluate performance and to recommend changes that could strengthen teaching skills.

AI: Partial - AI can analyze lesson recordings and classroom data to identify evidence-based teaching practices and suggest improvements, but it lacks the full contextual understanding and professional judgement to autonomously evaluate staff performance.

Interpret and enforce provisions of state education codes and rules and regulations of state education boards.

AI: Partial - AI can interpret education codes, flag compliance issues, and provide guidance, but it cannot exercise legal authority or carry out enforcement actions that require official decision-making.

Conduct or participate in workshops, committees, and conferences designed to promote the intellectual, social, and physical welfare of students.

AI: Partial - AI can prepare materials, run and participate in virtual workshops and generate meeting outputs, but it cannot fully replace human deliberation and the nuanced, context-sensitive decisions required for student welfare committees.

Advise teaching and administrative staff in curriculum development, use of materials and equipment, and implementation of state and federal programs and procedures.

AI: Partial - AI can synthesize curriculum guidance and interpret regulations at scale but cannot fully replace the human judgment, relationships, and local authority required for implementation.

Confer with members of educational committees and advisory groups to obtain knowledge of subject areas and to relate curriculum materials to specific subjects, individual student needs, and occupational areas.

AI: Partial - AI can aggregate subject-matter expertise and facilitate meetings but lacks the interpersonal nuance and contextual judgment to fully stand in for committee conferring.

Advise and teach students.

AI: Partial - AI can provide personalized instruction and advising at scale but cannot fully replicate classroom management, socio-emotional support, and the professional accountability of human teachers.

Prepare grant proposals, budgets, and program policies and goals or assist in their preparation.

AI: Partial - AI can draft grant proposals, construct budgets from data, and generate policy goal drafts, but cannot fully handle stakeholder negotiation, legal accountability, or final approvals without human oversight.

Recommend, order, or authorize purchase of instructional materials, supplies, equipment, and visual aids designed to meet student educational needs and district standards.

AI: Partial - AI can recommend and automate procurement workflows based on standards and needs analysis but cannot authorize purchases or handle budgetary, legal, and political approvals without humans.

Organize production and design of curriculum materials.

AI: Partial - AI can manage project workflows and design prototypes but cannot fully coordinate stakeholders, production logistics, and quality control without human oversight.

Update the content of educational programs to ensure that students are being trained with equipment and processes that are technologically current.

AI: Partial - AI can monitor technological trends and propose curriculum updates, yet implementing program changes tied to equipment, training, and policy requires human decision-making.

Address public audiences to explain program objectives and to elicit support.

AI: Partial - AI can draft speeches, presentations, and outreach materials and even deliver them synthetically, but genuine public engagement and trust-building typically require human presence.

Prepare or approve manuals, guidelines, and reports on state educational policies and practices for distribution to school districts.

AI: Partial - AI can prepare well‑structured manuals, guidelines, and reports from policy inputs and templates, but cannot legitimately perform final approval or fully ensure legal/compliance signoff without humans.

Coordinate activities of workers engaged in cataloging, distributing, and maintaining educational materials and equipment in curriculum libraries and laboratories.

AI: Partial - AI can automate inventory, scheduling, and communications to coordinate staff activities, but cannot fully replace on‑site supervision, complex interpersonal management, or authoritative decisions.

Inspect instructional equipment to determine if repairs are needed and authorize necessary repairs.

AI: Partial - AI can analyze sensor and image data to detect equipment faults and recommend repairs, but cannot perform physical inspections in many contexts or authorize repairs that require human accountability.
