AI with Intention: Principles and Action Steps for Teachers and School Leaders

Make sure your tech initiatives put students first with this robust guide for teachers and school leaders.

With new artificial intelligence tools sweeping into districts and schools, educators must be able to assess the tools' benefits and limitations and determine if and how they might serve students. Teaching and leadership expert Tony Frontier provides the insight and knowledge necessary to use these tools effectively and responsibly.

AI with Intention presents guiding principles and action steps that address both the issues and the opportunities that come with artificial intelligence. School leaders will learn how to cultivate a schoolwide understanding of AI, implement student-centered practices that support academic integrity, and ensure that effective teaching and learning remain the school's top priority. Teachers will learn how to efficiently and effectively use AI tools to help their students engage in the productive struggle necessary for learning.

New and evolving technologies can be exciting, but as Frontier points out, how we respond to innovation is more important than the innovation itself. This book is a roadmap for all educators looking to better understand and incorporate AI in ways that support-rather than undermine-effective teaching and learning.
