**Hello** 👋

Efforts to integrate AI into education are increasingly focused on enhancing the work of teachers and the learning experience for students. New educator-focused initiatives like [AI Certs’ classroom integration credential](https://www.mypanhandle.com/business/press-releases/ein-presswire/823082219/ai-certs-unveils-ai-educator-certification-to-equip-teachers-for-ai-enhanced-classrooms?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and [HMH’s Educator Council](https://thejournal.com/articles/2025/06/16/hmh-forms-educator-council-to-inform-ai-tool-development.aspx?ref=newsletters.qs.com) reflect a shift toward more deliberate, teacher-led AI implementation. At the same time, AI-powered learning companions are being piloted as support tools—whether it’s [Efekta’s rollout ](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/efekta-launch-worlds-largest-ai-learning-trial-302485449.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com)across Latin America for English learners,[ Malaysia’s AIMI](https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/education/malaysia-unveils-virtual-counselor-to-support-students-mental-health-4899738.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com) as a mental health resource, or TAL’s new [AI-enabled tablet for early learners](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TAL/the-all-in-one-ai-tutoring-platform-designed-for-kids-and-affordable-8hbc06qplgav.html?ref=newsletters.qs.com). These early-stage experiments point to a future where AI augments instruction and student support, but also raise important questions about privacy, efficacy, and educator agency.
