What is the role of educators in the artificial intelligence revolution?

We are entering an unprecedented era of innovation, where humanity and technology will work together in harmony. The AI Classroom will equip educators with the knowledge and skills needed to stay ahead of the curve and fully embrace the transformative power of artificial intelligence.

This book delves into the limitless possibilities of AI and how it will shape the future of education. Educators must take the opportunity to leverage artificial intelligence in order to provide students with a future-focused education that's tailored specifically to their needs. By embracing this change, educators be able to focus more of their time on building meaningful relationships and doing what they truly love - teaching!

This groundbreaking book will help you:

• Start using AI within seconds
• Take back your personal time
• Create content and do tasks using artificial intelligence
• Infuse emotional intelligence with artificial intelligence
• Enhance existing pedagogies
• Put students in control of their learning

This is the student text portion of the curriculum The Elements; Ingredients of the Universe, by the same author. The student text is provided as a convenience to teachers and parents who have multiple students and would like each student to have their own booklet. ( The full curriculum book includes a copy of the student text.)

Ambitious Science Teaching outlines a powerful framework for science teaching to ensure that instruction is rigorous and equitable for students from all backgrounds. The practices presented in the book are being used in schools and districts that seek to improve science teaching at scale, and a wide range of science subjects and grade levels are represented.

The book is organized around four sets of core teaching practices: planning for engagement with big ideas; eliciting student thinking; supporting changes in students' thinking; and drawing together evidence-based explanations. Discussion of each practice includes tools and routines that teachers can use to support students' participation, transcripts of actual student-teacher dialogue and descriptions of teachers' thinking as it unfolds, and examples of student work. The book also provides explicit guidance for opportunity to learn strategies that can help scaffold the participation of diverse students.

Since the success of these practices depends so heavily on discourse among students, Ambitious Science Teaching includes chapters on productive classroom talk. Science-specific skills such as modeling and scientific argument are also covered.

Drawing on the emerging research on core teaching practices and their extensive work with preservice and in-service teachers, Ambitious Science Teaching presents a coherent and aligned set of resources for educators striving to meet the considerable challenges that have been set for them.

An award-winning educator offers a much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better

Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, Dr. Christopher Emdin has merged his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America. He takes to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student's culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning.

Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike--both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally.

Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the Seven Cs of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.
