I am an elementary school principal in School District U-46 (u-46.org), focused on supporting teacher clarity for all learners. Currently, I am an early adopter of ChatGPT Edu through our district to maximize efficiency and automate tasks. I am interested in helping teachers with learning progressions, student-friendly self-assessment tools, and teacher-monitoring tools for student evidence of learning. Streamlining resource allocation and operations is key to helping me focus on classroom visibility and formative feedback to our team.
Hi everyone I’m Angel Diaz, founder at BarrelProof Labs. I build apps, platforms, and AI-powered products, and I’m increasingly focused on how AI can improve education, learning, and digital experiences.
I experiment with AI every day in my work from product thinking and workflows to building tools that are more useful, intuitive, and impactful. What motivates me most is the opportunity to use AI not only to move faster, but to help create better learning experiences and more meaningful educational products.
I’m very much an early adopter, but also interested in the practical side: what actually helps educators and learners, what creates real value, and how we keep the human element at the center. Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing where I can.
Hi everyone, I’m Hillary. I work in learning and development, with a focus on how students form understanding and confidence in their own thinking.
I’m experimenting with AI thoughtfully and paying close attention to how it supports learning without rushing it. I’m especially interested in timing, when AI helps and when it might step in too early.
On the spectrum, I’d place myself as curious and cautiously skeptical. Looking forward to learning alongside others here.
Hello, my name is Rafael. I am a physician and currently serve as a consultant at a university hospital. I believe that teaching and research are integral components of patient care, effectively complementing traditional clinical practice. Both areas provide additional motivation for me; teaching enables a broader impact and facilitates the sharing of knowledge, which is foundational to my approach.
While I have often been an early adopter of technology, I find myself somewhat behind in the field of artificial intelligence. I am here to expand my understanding and expertise in this area
AI for Teachers, Special Educators, and School Leaders
Practical. Inclusive. Human-Centered.
How are you connected to teaching and learning?
Are you already experimenting with AI tools in your classroom, support services, or district—or are you still trying to make sense of where AI truly fits in education?
In my work with schools, I see educators and administrators fall into three broad groups:
Early adopters integrating AI into instruction and planning
Curious educators who see potential but want structure and guardrails
Skeptics who are rightly asking hard questions about ethics, equity, and impact
Wherever you land, this Substack was created to meet you there.
I’m Suzanne Feit, an educator and assistive technology consultant with over 25 years of experience supporting teachers, special educators, therapists, administrators, and families. My career has focused on helping schools adopt technology thoughtfully, with attention to accessibility, differentiation, and real instructional value—not trends.
That work led me to write Family Adventures from A to Z Using ChatGPT, a hands-on guide designed to move educators and families from AI anxiety to AI partnership. The book demonstrates how AI can support:
Differentiated instruction and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Literacy, language development, and executive functioning
Inclusive practices for diverse learners, including students with disabilities
Family-school collaboration around technology use
📘 The book is available through:
Amazon ,Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark (ideal for schools, districts, and bulk purchasing)
🌐 Free resources, classroom extensions, and practical examples:
This Substack is an extension of my work in schools and training environments. You’ll find:
Classroom-ready AI use cases (not theory)
Prompting strategies you can adapt for diverse learners and grade levels
Examples aligned with special education, IEP support, and accessibility
Guidance for administrators making policy, training, and implementation decisions
Real-world scenarios that respect educator expertise and professional judgment
You do not need to be an AI expert.
You do not need to overhaul your curriculum.
You do need clear examples, ethical framing, and practical next steps.
If you’re a teacher, special educator, or administrator looking for a grounded, inclusive approach to AI in education, you’re in the right place.

Together, we can move toward AI that feels accessible rather than intimidating, and truly supportive of teaching and learning.
I spent many years in large ad agencies and management consulting before I started teaching and developing curriculum and certificate programs. I began guest lecturing at the University of Toronto, and then developed a content marketing certificate program that is still offered. It turns out my Myer Briggs profile is ENFJ and I am designed to teach and share. Then I moved on to design, develop and build the Chartered Marketer professional marketing curriculum at the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) in Toronto. After that I co-founded an online community focused on marketing education informed by AI and built it to over 630 members. Now I am focusing on adaptive learning and modern curriculum development at professional associations and I am also an Instructor and Program Advisor at Toronto Metropolitan University. Glad to be here!
Hello everyone! I’m a professor teaching biology to undergraduate students, and I also serve as an internships and placement coordinator. Alongside that, I work as a digital and LMS coordinator, supporting faculty and students in making meaningful use of learning technologies.
I’m beginning to experiment with AI in my work—exploring how it can support teaching, learning design, and student preparation while staying grounded in ethics and responsible use. As a speaker on ethics and leadership training, I’m especially interested in how AI intersects with values, decision-making, and future workforce readiness.
On the AI spectrum, I’d place myself as 🤔 curious—actively learning, asking questions, and exploring possibilities with a thoughtful, ethical lens. I’m excited to connect, learn from others here, and help grow this community together. 🌱
I’m currently a student pursuing my BS degree in Data Science and Generative AI from BITS Pilani. I’ve always been deeply curious by nature–exploring ideas, systems, and possibilities has never felt like work to me; it’s my hobby.
Ever since I discovered AI, I’ve felt a strong connection with it. There’s a constant hunger inside me to learn, to understand things at a deeper level, and to build something meaningful. I’m optimistic that with the help of AI, I’ll be able to create something impactful and represent myself at a much larger level.
I have been a full-time professor for the past 20 years I am an early adopter of AI, specifically ChatGPT. I use AI to create exams and develop courses. Recently, I have started incorporating AI research as student work.
I write children’s fiction and educational material. I’ve worked with schools and teachers in Scandinavia for a long time, and my books have been used in classrooms and curriculum development across the region for years, often as part of national teaching materials rather than stand-alone reading.
That experience is what pulled me into questions around AI. When you see how stories behave at scale, with huge impact on empathy and critical evaluation skills, in real classrooms with real constraints, you start worrying less about novelty and more about what helps learning stay human and how we keep students and teachers motivated and learning when AI is so easy to reach for.
I’m currently doing a PhD by publication in education, growing directly out of that classroom work. A lot of it is about story as process, and what happens to imagination, uncertainty, and thinking when AI becomes very good at producing answers.
On the AI spectrum, I’m a very early adopter who’s learned to be very careful.
If you’re working on AI policy and national curricula, large-scale educational systems, or narrative as a learning tool, I’d be glad to connect.

Hi, I’m Kim.
I’m a founder working on a human-first AI idea for people who work with their hands — where learning usually happens on the job, not in a classroom.
I’m using AI mostly as a thinking and organizing tool right now. Still learning, still experimenting.
I’d say I land in the curious camp. I’m new here and looking forward to learning from everyone.
