ChatGPT for Teachers: Managing and Scaling Access

Keelan Schule is a Solutions Engineer at OpenAI, where he works with universities and public institutions to apply AI in practical, human-centered ways across teaching, student services, and campus operations. He holds a degree in Bioinformatics from the University of Saskatchewan and originally set out to build a career in scientific research, drawn to the idea of working in labs and contributing to discovery.

Raised in rural Alberta, Keelan’s path into technology was shaped by problem-solving out of necessity rather than tradition. That perspective carried him from research environments into enterprise systems, security, and large-scale technology adoption across highly regulated organizations.

Today, his work focuses on helping educators and institutions move from curiosity to confidence with emerging technologies, bridging research thinking with real-world constraints and opportunities.

Kirk Gulezian helps shape how schools, universities, and governments harness the power of AI to transform teaching, learning, and everyday work. At OpenAI, he designs and drives programs that equip educators and leaders to deploy ChatGPT responsibly and at scale, creating resources, strategies, and partnerships that turn AI innovation into real-world impact.
