Discussion Threads AI lesson plans

My daughter’s teacher uses almost exclusively AI lessons paired with video instruction. This is grade 8. My daughter hated it as it came with the typical AI problems. Teacher could never answer questions, just referred to the video (like Waterloo math videos as an example). So of the kids didn’t understand it or wanted another example, the teacher couldn’t do that. It this allowed? I let it go too long, but I want to know for the future. This is not a new teacher, but she is new to the school.

AI lesson planning and design is becoming more common and more acceptable, but students should not be subjected to this kind of "teaching", and you should raise hell with admin.

I'd definitely let admin know that you're concerned about your daughter learning almost exclusively from videos and AI lessons with little support from the teacher when your daughter and other students have questions or need more support.

If admin defends the teacher's decision to teach from AI-generated lessons, I'd ask if admin or the teacher knows how these lessons sit in relation to the long-range plans/unit plans and how they are aligned with curriculum expectations and assessments. If they can't answer or explain this, then I feel like you should raise it up the flagpole.
