Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping how educators access information, analyze learning, and engage in professional learning, yet its adoption among K–12 educators remains limited compared to the students they serve. This article examines the potential of AI-enhanced professional learning for literacy educators and argues that professional learning providers must move beyond teaching about AI to intentionally using AI within the design, facilitation, and follow-up of professional learning experiences. Drawing on research related to effective professional development, adult learning theory, and emerging studies on generative AI, the authors explore how AI-enabled tools can support active, collaborative, and sustained professional learning while preserving its human-centered core.
