A colleague shared this Simon Sinek video about culture change through via early adaptors and ignoring the middle of the bell-curve when implementing changes. He thought, and I agree, that it has real, tangible connections to implementing AI effectively in schools:

While it challenges conventional approaches to integrating any sort of technology into existing work (certainly made me think about more than a few choices I’ve made in the past…), it made me think about how the patience of late-adopters.

Is there a reward for waiting? Certainly in something like AI there seems to be more change than constants at this point.

Who are your early adopters? What do they need? How can they be a part of a grassroots change in culture?
