In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Stephen Bigelow from Bay City Public Schools to unpack a journey from teacher to superintendent, and to delve into the thrills and challenges of introducing artificial intelligence into the classroom. We'll explore the balancing act of innovating education while maintaining safeguards for our students, and how policy, partnership, and a readiness to embrace failure drive progress in our digital age.
Dr. Bigelow shares insights from the front lines of educational transformation and discusses how to prepare students for jobs that are evolving as rapidly as the technology itself. Join us as we decode the path to nurturing critical thinkers and problem solvers in a world where AI is reshaping the very foundation of learning and teaching.
