AI in the Classroom: How a Top Elementary School Is Doing It Right, with Principal Traci Walker Griffith

Added on April 14, 2026 by Jon Krohn.

Long overdue episode today on how A.I. can support children's education. Hard to imagine a better guest than Traci Walker Griffith, principal of a K-8 school that has used innovations like A.I. to become Boston's #1 school.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Traci transformed The Eliot School from an underperforming school on the closure list into the highest-performing school in Boston.

  • How kids as young as four at the Elliott work with robots and coding tools like Kibo and Scratch Junior, learning that the quality of their input determines the quality of their output ("garbage in, garbage out").

  • How, for younger students in kindergarten through fourth grade, teachers use A.I. behind the scenes.

  • How students in grades five through eight interact with A.I. directly, enabling them to build metacognition and critical-thinking skills.

  • Her concrete guidance for schools (or parents!) considering incorporating A.I. into pedagogy.
