Stop fearing AI in your ELA classroom. Start teaching students how to use it ethically.

Colleague AI can help educators move beyond fear-based conversations about AI and toward practical, responsible classroom use. When students learn how to use AI ethically, they build stronger critical thinking, reflection, and communication skills while staying grounded in authentic learning.

This use case highlights how teachers can create space for thoughtful AI use in ELA instruction, support student voice, and model what responsible technology integration looks like in real classroom practice.

Testing Times: Relieving the Pressure of Testing Season with AI

In this episode of the podcast, we examine how artificial intelligence is changing the way teachers approach test preparation before state testing season.

Join Hayley Spohn from Federal Way Public Schools (WA) as she discusses how educators can leverage tools like Colleague AI to quickly identify common misconceptions, generate targeted review activities, and support multilingual learners during high-stakes testing periods.

Drawing from classroom practice, the conversation also explores how teachers can integrate social-emotional supports and explicit test-taking strategies to help students approach assessments with confidence and clarity.

Grounded in real classroom experience, this episode highlights how AI can reduce teacher workload while helping students engage more deeply with the skills and thinking processes that matter most.
