Listen "EP 326 My top ways to use AI for scaffolds, supports, and differentiated tasks"

Episode Synopsis

I'm pulling back the curtain on how I use AI in my work with teachers as an instructional coach. I'll show you how I collaborate with AI to brainstorm ideas, reflect on lesson design, and help teachers build scaffolds and supports that truly meet students where they are. This is an honest, behind-the-scenes look at how educators are already partnering with AI in powerful and practical ways, as well as the limitations of these tools and what's NOT working. You'll learn: What it means to treat AI as a reflective collaborator, not just a resource generator How tools like Diffit, Brisk Teaching, Insta-Lesson, and MagicStudent can support differentiation, feedback, and independent learning Prompts and workflows I use when coaching teachers to personalize tasks without creating extra work Strategies for using AI to scaffold multi-step directions, revise writing, and support executive functioning How to guide students in getting feedback from AI directly and build their independence Get the shareable article/transcript for this episode here.
