TEACHING IN THE AI ERA

A student can now ask a machine for a finished essay and have it in seconds. Teachers can ask the same machine for a lesson plan, a quiz or a letter to families. Much of what reaches teachers about AI is either promise or alarm, and neither helps on an ordinary Tuesday. Teaching in the AI Era is a teacher's book, written by a teacher. It sets out what has changed, what the evidence can and cannot yet say, and what to do with the students in front of you. Thirteen chapters cover homework and assessment, planning with AI, learning when answers are free, access and equity, safeguarding, AI literacy, teacher learning, the whole school, and what a university degree can still certify. Every study is graded by its strength, and every chapter ends with practical routines, advice for classrooms with one shared phone or no connection, and questions for reflection. The argument is a quiet one. AI has changed what students can hand in far more than it has changed what learning requires. A teacher stays answerable for what reaches students, and that needs time, support and a voice in how tools arrive.
