Ellen Devine
Choate Rosemary Hall
Ellen Devine has been a faculty member at Choate Rosemary Hall since 2005 and currently serves as Director of Studies. In this role, she leads the development and implementation of academic policy and practice, working closely with faculty and administrators to ensure that Choate’s program remains rigorous, dynamic, and student-centered.
A veteran English teacher and former department head, Ellen brings to her leadership a strong foundation in curriculum design and classroom practice. Her work reflects a deep commitment to equity and inclusion, a joyful spirit of inquiry, and an appreciation for the value of revision and collaboration—principles that shape her approach to leadership and to generative AI.
As Chair of Choate’s Generative AI Steering Committee, Ellen led a collaborative process to craft ethical, pedagogically sound guidelines for AI use. She now serves on the school’s AI Policy Group, helping to ensure that Choate’s practices remain responsive to both technological change and community needs.
Ellen sees AI as a transformative moment for education that demands both critical scrutiny and creative potential. She holds degrees in English from Cornell University and the University of Connecticut. Her creative writing has appeared in publications such as The Long River Review and My Little Red Book, and she is a contributor to Choate’s Alumni magazine, The Bulletin.
