We are proud to celebrate Amber Herring, DCSS Coordinator of Instructional Innovation, for representing the Dougherty County School System in an important national conversation about the future of education. Moderated by NBC News’ Sheinelle Jones, the discussion explored how Black educators are navigating classrooms shaped by emerging technology, evolving student needs, and growing expectations. The conversation also highlighted the innovative ways educators are engaging students, strengthening learning, and preparing young people for a future increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.

Thank you, Ms. Herring, for representing DCSS and sharing your voice, expertise, and perspective in this important conversation. (Ms. Herring is pictured third from left in the photo below.)
