AI in Education: A Future That Puts Teachers First

Hello Reader,

“In the future, every teacher could have five amazing graduate assistants.” - Sal Khan, Khan Academy

There’s a quiet fear growing in many teachers’ hearts right now.

It’s not just about AI.

It’s about becoming invisible in a system that already feels overwhelming, undervalued, and underfunded.

So when someone says, “AI is coming to the classroom,” it’s natural to feel a chill.

But here’s what’s often missed:

AI is not here to replace teachers.

AI is here to support teachers like never before.

Imagine walking into your classroom and having five brilliant assistants by your side.

You’re still the teacher.

They just make your time go further.

That’s what Sal Khan meant when he described the future of education:

Not fewer teachers, but better-supported teachers.

We’ve Seen This Before

Think back to the early days of calculators.

People panicked.

“Kids won’t learn math!”

“They’ll lose critical thinking skills!”

And yet… we adapted.

We didn’t stop teaching math.

We moved students to higher-level thinking—faster, with confidence.

AI is our calculator moment.

It won’t erase the need for pedagogy, compassion, or intuition.

But it will let teachers do what only humans can do, connect, lead, and inspire, without drowning in admin and busywork.

It means new possibilities.

For teaching. For learning. For your career.

You might guide a student using insights the AI helped surface.
You might free up time and finally start that course, book, or coaching project.
You might transition into a new role, powered by your experience and supported by tools that amplify your impact.

We believe the next chapter in education won’t be written about teachers.

It will be written with them.

And AI will be the pencil, not the author.
