Generative AI tools can help evaluate professional learning programs, from building knowledge assessments to measuring teacher efficacy. @tguskey put AI platforms to the test. The quality varied by tool and all results still needed a human expert’s eye to be truly useful. #TheLearningPro ow.ly/UUNg50YR6iS
