Teaching in the age of AI

The 4 Evidences

Four day-to-day patterns you may already be seeing in your classroom: a polished summary that hides no reading, a working program that hides no debugging, perfect notes that hide no class, a textbook answer that fails the follow-up. This is not about catching AI. It is about designing for visible evidence of thinking.

The Diagnosis and the Move

Why we are getting used to instant answers, what we lose when the creative struggle disappears, and what to do about it: four questions to ask (STEP), three parameters to evaluate on (DEP), and one floor the work must pass (Ownership). Then: pick one moment from your course to think about this week.

Where Learning Breaks

Four ways AI weakens learning — the summary trap, the generic explanation, the false confidence, the invisible confusion — and the diagnostic question you can ask before letting AI help.

Designing the Moment

The 5 entry points that start a learning moment right, and the 4-block structure (Attempt, Hint, Explanation, Reflection) that keeps the student in the work. The artifact: a designed 20-minute learning moment for your anchor topic.
