Instruction

Peter Nilsson is an educator, writer, and musician, whose work bridges education, creativity, and technology. A former head of school and award-winning teacher, he cofounded Athena Lab and edits The Educator’s Notebook, a newsletter on innovation in learning.

Maya Bialik is the founder of QuestionWell, a program that creates research-aligned AI tools for education. A former middle school science teacher, Maya’s focus is on how AI can improve working conditions for teachers.

When should students and teachers use AI? When should they avoid it? How can you continue advancing your mastery with AI? Drawing on their book Irreplaceable: How AI Changes Everything (and Nothing) in Teaching and Learning, Maya Bialik and Peter Nilsson will share insights from working with dozens of schools and more than a thousand teachers on how to effectively integrate AI into instruction and learning experiences.

As highlighted by researchers at the Brookings Institution, "AI holds significant promise for enhancing writing instruction and student outcomes across multiple dimensions of the writing process when used to amplify student learning rather than shortcut it." This webinar will explore strategies for helping students maintain agency as writers in an AI-driven world.
