AI-Ready Teacher: A Professional Growth Guide

What does it truly mean to be "AI-ready" as an educator?

In a time of rapid technological change, The AI-Ready Teacher offers something different from the usual how-to manuals and app tutorials: a thoughtful, empowering framework for teacher growth, grounded in reflection, ethics, and pedagogy-not tech hype.

Designed for K-12 and higher education professionals, this guide supports teachers in developing intentional, sustainable practices for using AI in their classrooms and professional lives. It helps you:

• Co-plan lessons with AI without compromising student thinking

• Build classroom norms, grading systems, and disclosure policies around ethical AI use

• Collaborate with peers, lead school-wide conversations, and set boundaries

• Reconnect with your core teaching identity-even as tools evolve

Whether you're an early adopter, a cautious observer, or somewhere in between, this book equips you to navigate AI with clarity and confidence.

Packed with journaling prompts, PD session templates, student contracts, and reflection tools, The AI-Ready Teacher is a guide you'll return to again and again-not to master every tool, but to teach with purpose in an AI-powered world.
