In this "Best Of" episode, I spoke with Tony Frontier about his book AI with Intention: Principles and Action Steps for Teachers and School Leaders (ASCD).
In one of our most popular conversations from last year, you'll hear about:
- On the topic of AI and education, what is important for educators to keep in mind about what has changed and what remains the same?
- Tony’s greatest fear and greatest hope about how AI will change education
- Essential Question: How can teachers and students use AI tools to support intentional teaching and learning?
- Most important guiding principles that challenge teachers to think more clearly about what has changed and what is the same
- Essential Question for Leaders: How can leaders build capacity to ensure AI tools are used to effectively support intentional teaching and learning?
- Read Tony’s Educational Leadership article, “Active Learning, Not Passive Compliance”
Get the book AI with Intention from ASCD or wherever you get your books.

If you’re a school or district leader struggling with the challenge of chronic absenteeism, as so many are across the U.S., you may not realize that structured recess is a research-backed approach to keep kids in school. In fact, a UC Berkeley study of Title I schools found that those partnering with Playworks had significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates. Further, Mathematica research demonstrated that Playworks schools spent 27% less time transitioning from recess back to learning, saving teachers valuable instructional time.
These results are possible for your students, too. Learn how Playworks can help you improve student-educator relationships, belonging, and attendance by signing up for a quick no-obligation conversation.
