John Schembari is a huge proponent for AI, not just as a productivity tool, but as a thought partner for teachers and as a learning system for schools, and The Worthy Educator is hosting him Saturday morning, May 2nd so that he can demonstrate how he uses his Have a Life AI Coaching Bot! Follow this link to video tutorials of John using his bot for teaching, coaching, and leadership.

 

Key ideas John will share:

​

• Teachers don’t need more tools—they need fewer, smarter ones
   

• Lesson & assessment planning with AI to reduce working in silos
   

• ​Designing guardrails using AI from Lesson → Transcript → Insight → Coaching Conversation
  ​

• Piloting AI implementation with volunteers before rolling it out, and
   

• Systematizing AI practice while building trust

 

As someone who understands the realities of today's classrooms, John is an advocate for teachers thinking in systems, not as one-off tools used in isolation. Together we can help districts avoid the tendency towards an “AI chaos phase” by taking charge of the next iteration of teaching and learning in this exciting new era for education!
