Red Light: An educator who identifies their beliefs in AI with a red light is not ready or open to using the tool in any way in their classroom. They could be skeptical about the reliability of AI, wary of its ethical effects, or uncertain how it will affect traditional teaching methodologies. Yellow Light: A yellow light means that a person is interested and willing to try AI but is not ready to go “all in.” They will be willing to try it in small increments but may need further assistance or training to adopt AI fully.  Green Light: Educators in this category are ready to investigate how AI might add to their pedagogies and make administrative work more manageable.
