AI offers significant time savings in lesson planning and administrative tasks. The goal, however, is not just to “do less” but to work smarter. Teachers should consciously reinvest the time saved into higher-value professional activities in their area of expertise, such as: providing personalized, small-group differentiated instruction, working with students/families on individualized learning plans, or designing richer, project-based learning experiences.
Use AI to avoid repetitive or less complex tasks and free your cognitive load for the most meaningful aspects of your job, connecting with and supporting your students.
