Our educational system is nearly 200 years old and has long been in need of a complete overhaul. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the transformational impact it is having, and will have, on our world is the catalyst we need to also transform the education system so that our students are better equipped to succeed in their world and the world of the future. Dr. Sarah Rubinson Levy has an undergraduate degree in business and sociology and holds a Master of Jewish Education degree from Hebrew College, a doctorate in education from Northeastern University, and certificates in Advanced Jewish Studies, Day School Education, and Jewish Educational Leadership. Her areas of focus include progressive/student-centered education, integration of artificial intelligence into education, and teacher professional development and support.
