Bio

Chris Meehan directs academic technology at Berkshire School — running the ed-tech stack, chairing the AI committee, and training 50+ faculty — while also building open-source AI tools for teachers at chrismeehan.com. He holds a Master’s in Technology Leadership from Brown University, where his research surveyed 328 students on how they actually use AI. He has led global edtech projects with UNESCO, Adobe, Salesforce, and Visa. His work focuses on what happens to assignment design, school policy, and student thinking when AI is in every backpack — and what educators can build for themselves when they stop waiting for vendors.

Topics

  • Assignment design in the AI era
  • AI and student learning in grades 9–12
  • Assessment and academic integrity when students have AI
  • AI policy in schools — from intent to classroom practice

  • Building custom school tools with AI (vibe coding in practice)
  • What a working tech director’s day actually looks like during AI adoption
  • Why schools that build internal capacity outperform those that buy solutions
