US Writing Teachers on AI Impact for NYT Education Feature

For decades, American students have struggled to produce one dominant form of academic writing: a thesis-driven essay, in which students are asked to use quotes from their reading to support an argument. But now, generative artificial intelligence far exceeds the ability of most high school and college students to produce such papers. And there are no foolproof tools that allow educators to suss out whether students have improperly used A.I. In response, many teachers and professors are rethinking what types of writing they assign and where writing is produced. Some are requiring students to write by hand during class. Others are leaning more on first-person, personal writing, or requiring oral presentations or videos instead of traditional papers. We want to hear from high school teachers and college professors who assign writing. How has A.I. changed what you ask students to do, and how? Please let us know by filling out the questions below.
