AI as a Thoughtful Partner in Teaching

Artificial intelligence can help educators save time, generate ideas, and respond more quickly to students’ needs, but effective use still depends on teacher judgment. In this video, Dr. Jeannette Tejeda explores how teachers can use AI to create supports such as leveled texts, scaffolds, discussion questions, choice boards, exit tickets, and rubric drafts.

The session also addresses responsible AI use, including accuracy, bias, privacy, approved tools, and the importance of keeping humans in the decision making process. The central message is simple: AI can provide a starting point, but teachers transform its output into meaningful instruction.
