AI by Design: Putting Humanity First in Teaching 

As we head into a new school year, educators are facing increasing demands on their time, attention, and energy. But what if AI could help shift that balance, giving teachers more space to do what they love most: teach?

In this second session of the AI by Design series, Dr. Adam Phyall, Director of Professional Learning at All4Ed, led a conversation on how AI tools and thoughtful processes can help teachers reclaim their time and refocus on human connection, creativity, and instruction.

Our expert panel of educators and leaders shared:

• Why human-centered AI integration is key to sustainable teaching
  
• Real examples of how AI acts as a teaching assistant
  
• How AI supports classroom management and planning
  
• Tools that automate routine tasks (like grading, scheduling, communications)
  
• Ways AI frees up time to build deeper student relationships
