Utah requires local education agencies to give teachers hands-on time to explore AI tools, building trust through autonomy and experimental learning, supported by the APEX Grant Program and a state AI educator framework.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Edtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to treat teacher AI training as an ongoing hands-on process, not a one-off seminar, to build real trust and adoption. Utah’s model shows that giving education leaders real autonomy opens up new opportunities for innovative AI tools in schools.
