Artificial intelligence is everywhere.

Every day, students are surrounded by conversations about AI, how it will change education, eliminate jobs, create new ones, and more. AI can answer questions in seconds, summarize books, write computer code, explain difficult concepts, and provide access to an almost unlimited amount of information.

For today's high school students, access to information is no longer the challenge it once was. The bigger challenge is turning information into understanding. And that requires something AI cannot provide: experience.

Student development outside of academic achievement has become a priority for schools across the country. Educators focus on student outcomes that revolve around social-emotional growth and skills development in addition to academics.

How Service Can Improve Student Motivation and Attitude

There has been a significant loss of learning and development due to the pandemic. However, as the world emerges from the pandemic and students are able to return to a more typical education experience, there is a great opportunity for educators to help motivate students and re-engage students in service. 

As students heal from the impact of the pandemic and get settled in their new normal, it can be a challenge for them to feel the motivation to participate in extracurriculars and service.
