    Oct 15 2024

    In this episode of "Coaching Conversations," I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Nathan Lang-Raad, TLC 2024 presenter, to dive into the exciting intersection of artificial intelligence and education. As a leading voice in instructional coaching and AI, Dr. Lang-Raad brings invaluable insights into how we can harness AI to elevate our coaching practices and support teachers effectively.

    Our discussion covers essential AI concepts, addresses the ethical considerations we must keep in mind, and explores practical applications like intelligent tutoring systems and data-driven insights. Throughout our conversation, we underscore the irreplaceable value of human connection and creativity in the educational landscape. We believe that AI should be viewed as a powerful ally—a supportive tool that enhances our efforts rather than replaces the vital relationships we build. Together, we encourage a culture of continuous learning and collaboration among educators, leveraging technology to enrich our practice and ultimately benefit our students.
