AI Coach by Edthena coaches teachers to self-reflect. Teachers work through structured coaching cycles aligned to their growth area by having a conversation with a virtual coach. The terms “AI” or “virtual coach” might conjure up images of teachers talking only to futuristic robots and forgoing the human-centric and collaborative work of being an educator.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

A day in the life of a teacher is dynamic. As with any profession, there are both uplifting moments and challenging moments. Uplifting moments remind us why we chose to become educators while challenging ones may cause us to forget. As a teacher, I often found myself feeling bothered by difficult circumstances.

Even after the events of the past two years, the definition of what constitutes digital curriculum is still a source of disagreement for some. Misalignment among educator roles regarding curriculum has far from disappeared, and in some cases, the gap has grown even wider, according to new research.

At this point last year, we hoped we'd be on the other side of COVID-19 by now. Instead, the combination of COVID variants and back-to-school meant educators and administrators have found themselves in a continued state of flux. New cases are still happening and students and teachers are still quarantining. In some instances, there aren't always enough teachers in school buildings to conduct in-person learning.

I LOVE finding video clips on YouTube and strategically editing them so that students are manipulated (for lack of a better word) into asking a content related question I want them to ask. If they ask it, they OWN it. Usually this process involves strategically trimming a video, perhaps removing the sound, covering up a portion of the video, or some combination of these techniques.
