We’re excited to announce that 14 school districts across Massachusetts have been selected for the 2026 Partnership for Educators Advancing AI Knowledge (PEAK) Cohort. Led by MassCUE and Throughline Learning, with support by EdTechTeacher and UMass Lowell’s AI Teach Co-Design Lab, this collaborative professional learning experience empowers districts to thoughtfully and equitably integrate artificial intelligence into teaching and learning.

The PEAK Cohort empowers district teams to co-design AI implementation plans aligned with instructional priorities and equity goals. Participating districts will develop shared visions, draft AI guidelines, implementation roadmaps, and strategies for building staff capacity through professional development.

Congratulations to the 2026 PEAK Cohort Districts:
