For Teachers

Classroom-ready conversations, on the days you need them.

A guided path through the site — pick a grade band, set up the conversation, then go as deep as you have time for.

Most teachers find this site looking for a specific thing: a discussion to use tomorrow, a framework for an AI policy conversation, or a way to talk with students about something that came up in class. Below is the shortest path to each of those — in order.

Your journey

Step 1 — Pick your grade band

K-5 leans on stories and read-aloud. 6-8 leans on dilemmas and counter-arguments. 9-12 connects AI ethics to the philosophical canon. Pick the band you'll use this week.

Step 2 — Open the Dialogue Toolkit

Before running an experiment, skim the four norms and the five Socratic moves. Twelve protocols give you scripts when a discussion needs a nudge. Useful 30 seconds before class, not 30 minutes.

Step 3 — Try a flagship at staff PD

The four educator flagships — The Shortcut, the Authorship Quandary, the Reluctant Educator, the Doppelgänger — are designed for the conversations you wish you'd had before the vendor demo. Fifteen minutes each.

Step 4 — Strengthen the practice itself

Research-grounded resources on feedback, engagement, async learning, and RTI. Practical PD that doesn't pretend AI is the only thing happening in your room.

Step 5 — Go deeper when you're ready

Philosophy in K–12 and the AI Ethics frameworks are the research foundation behind the discussion materials. Read these when you want the argument behind the activity.
