What if the most important part of AI in education… isn’t the AI?
In this episode of Leading Out Loud, Chantell Manahan sits down with Allison Reid, a visionary leader from Wake County Public Schools, to explore what it really means to lead human-centered AI work in K–12 education. From managing change at scale to building trust with school and district leaders, Allison shares her powerful approach to introducing innovation without losing sight of the people behind the systems.
You’ll hear:

Whether you're a district leader, principal, teacher, or edtech partner, this episode will leave you thinking differently about how we bring AI into our schools and why it must start with people.
