Insights from CRTWC Featured in ECampus News: 13 predictions about edtech, innovation, and–yes–AI in 2026

eCampus News recently featured national leaders in education innovation sharing predictions about the future of educational technology, including the evolving role of AI in teaching and learning. The article explores how institutions can thoughtfully integrate emerging tools while keeping human relationships, equity, and student development at the center.

Representing the Center for Reaching & Teaching the Whole Child, Dr. Halley A. Maza shared how CRTWC’s work ensures technology strengthens, rather than replaces, the relational and culturally responsive foundations of teaching.

Our prediction and commitment are that thoughtful, human-centered technology will amplify the social, emotional, relational, and culturally-sustaining dimensions of teaching, enabling both educators and students to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.”

Through partnerships with universities such as Notre Dame de Namur University and collaboration with strategic partners, CRTWC continues to build an innovative ecosystem for video-based coaching, observation, and reflective practice. Grounded in our Anchor Competencies Framework, this work examines how AI-powered tools can enhance educator preparation while preserving the deeply human elements at the heart of learning.
